Agree with the posts here, for sure would like to see a book on this fella's life and times on the beat. Just finished reading Man Eaters of Kumaon for probably the fifth time. Still a great read. maybe a rehash like Boddington's African Hunter II is to Mellon's.....???


Assured Kuduae, that is what they are. Odd indeed of the choice of chamberings, but it surely works. Many, many years ago in my youth I had a post WWII sporter in 8x57. I came across a rather large supply of 8x50R ammo. I pulled the bullets, dumped the powder in the x57 case, seated those big beautiful 244gr solids.....assuming similar performance between the 2, I can say it is all anyone could have wanted. I think I have seen reference to the .315 IOF being loaded with a 207gr RNSP, that would suit me.


twobob, for sure equipment and conditions/travel have improved, but in that bush, in that setting, it is still the Man/Hunter that makes the diference.
