Your pictures are brilliant and as previously stated, they do tell a story. But not the WHOLE story!!

I hope we get details soon including the camera(s) used.

Thanks and congratulations.

Looks like you had a great hunt and took some excellent trophies! Congrats!!!

Great photos, and I know you had a great time if you hunted with Chris. I've hunted with him four different times, and each time was a real hoot.

Excellent trophies and excellent photos. Regarding your Kudu, did you measure the horns? I don't pay attention to SCI standards so I don't know the minimum for the Greater Kudu but yours was very nice.

It just hit me that this was a Mozambique safari. I am so used to Zambia, Tanzania, Zim etc I overlooked this. Excellent to see a good report from Moz.

Your pic of the village and the radiating trails reminds me of stories my uncle told of flying over Africa from Accra to Egypt in WWII with Pan Am. Said the big towns were literally like spoked wheels the trails were so defined.

Beautiful photos and nice trophies. Your buffalo looks very much like the one I killed there in 2001. It is hard to believe it has been 10 years since I hunted there. My hunt was just after the floods and they were rebuilding the camp. Back then Peit Houggard had the concession.

AIU,

Nice report and photos. Looks like from the smiles that you and your wife had a great time. Interesting that you used a high velocity expnding bullet on the elephant. I always thought that would work with the right bullet but it kind of flies in the face of conventional wisdom.

AIU,

Exactly what I would have expected from the Failsafe. Were you able to determine how much penetration you got? I know that enough is the answer but it would be nice know how it would have compared to say a monometal solid.

So what's next after RSA and Mozambique?

Great photos from a fantastic trip. Chris is a great PH. Got to spend time with him and his family in Zim in 09. All around good guy and excellent PH.

Nice Buff. thanks for the report. I shot a kudu two years ago through the front part of the neck and recovered the bullet in back of the neck with a 180gr failsafe out of a .300. There was one petal still left on the bullet. I'm not to sure I would trust a failsafe on an elephant, but it obviously worked for you. tu2

I have a 280 AI which I have been shooting 3 months, also a 375 H&H mag which I have hunted with in South Africa. Am curious about your 375 AI. Any chance of getting some details about your gun? Who chambered it, what action, what maximum magazine length, what stock, what length barrel, etc., etc. Do you handload for it? What is benchrest accuracy like with the 250 TTSX which I also have used? Sorry for all the questions, but am quite curious.

AIU, I love fail safe bullets and am well stocked up on them. Years ago I started cutting a slight cannular for crimping to keep recoil from changing the seating depth on the cartridges in the magazine. Have you ever experienced this problem?
