Gibbs505,

The .375 H&H is a great calibre for any client to use on everything from Duiker to Elephant, and the .505 is even better for Dangerous Game.....I carry a .500 Jeffrey myself as my chargestopper..

I'd like to hear more of the .505.... do you have open sights or a scope on it? and what sort of range do you shoot it out to?

303s are still popular here with the local hunters, but has a bad reputation amongst PHs...... I think largely due to the people who use it.....A lot of the meat hunters try for head shots and wind up wounding (and losing) their quarry. Then the next PH into the area has to spend time cleaning up their mistakes

Bakes, sounds like a great idea....don't forget to post the pics! I thought about a private plate on my Landrover with my Zulu name on it, but decided they'd all be falling about laughing every time I drove through town.......you see, Zulu names are not normally very flattering, and mine means shortarse!!!
