Just got back from RSA and Sand River Safaris. Very successful hunt. Using a 375JDJ Contender pistol I killed a 52"Kudu , a 32" Eland, Zebra, 2 Impala, a 16" Blesbuck. Was treated like a king the only bad part was the plane ride and the 4 hour wait at the Jberg airport to clear our guns. | ||

These are the pictures gasixgunner sent to me from his hunt at Sand River Safaris. Some very good trophys and an excited hunter! BigBullet       BigBullet "Half the FUN of the travel is the esthetic of LOSTNESS" Ray Bradbury https://www.facebook.com/Natal...443607135825/?ref=hl | |||

Sounds like a great hunt. I really like the eland picture, most of the ones I see only show the head and horns, so you can't see how big they really are. ____________________________________________ "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Nice trophies and good pistol shooting too. Congratulations. ALLEN W.

Congrats on some nice trophies. That .375JDJ is a handful but it looks like it did a job on your animals. What load were you shooting and what ranges? On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

The load used was 52.0 grains of AA2520. The bullet was Sierra 250 grain GameKing. The Kudu was shot at 180 yards. Eland at 140, zebra 120, impala 125 & 80, blesbuck 60. All shots were one shot kills. The kudu ran the farthest and that was only 40 yards. Most everything else was 15 yards or less. | |||
