This past week end I went on a 3 day hunting trip up near Thabazimbi, close to the Botswana Border. (They still talk about Ed in the pubs!) Quite a successful hunt I may add. All shot with 300H&H loaded with 184 gr Peregrine Monolithics. Rifle performed on a button. I have been MIA for a long time, but here I am all strong but a little older.      |

Wouter, fantastic photos. Looks like a WONDERFUL hunt. I'm about to load up some Speer 200gr Hot-Cor for my Winchester 1885 High Wall. Those Peregrine Monolithics seem to do a fine job...
Great to hear from you. I hope to visit your area in the not too distant future.

Long time no hear from Wouter. It is good to hear from you, and what Dan said; looks like a great hunt. Great pictures, by the way.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Boy oh boy! Nice animals. Big venison braai coming up! I was chopping some rip-rap from the bushes to put under the tires when finally someone came along and pulled me out with a long rope. |

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |

Nice stuff!
I have tried 100gr VLR4s in my 257 Roberts but not great expansion. The 150gr VLR4s work well in 30-06. I have some 250gr VRG3 to work up in my 9.3x62 Scrummy

I have hunted mostly with 200gr Sierra Gamekings. My rifle was super accurate with this load. Then all of a sudden it lost accuracy. Cost me dearly in the hunting field. I had the rifle checked for this and that but could not find a reason. Barrel not shot out. I then worked up a load on Peregrine 184gr and found a decent level of accuracy. Bullet performs well on animals with not excessive meat damage.

The FM (F......g Magic)of reloading... just when things look really good "something" changes. Yes, I would say the Peregrine 184s do a "decent" job...

Yes the meat is good stuff. I shot two nice kudu cows for my home consumption. Currently at the butcher to make steaks, sausage, and dry meats.
