30 Nosler necked up. I am using Peterson 30n brass necked up and fire formed. The reamer we used was in between the cartridges so the formed brass has the shoulder pushed forward a bit.

We made it to Trophy Game Safari yesterday after staying the night at Africa Sky Resort and a great meal and some whiskey at the fire. After arrival and getting settled into our rooms we all went to the range to check zero on the rifles. Meeting everyone this morning at 5:30 for coffee and a bit of breakfast before we head out hunting.

What's the make of Brenda's 270 Win? And the twist rate? Have a great trip!

Time has come, we are about ready to Hammer Africa 2024. This year the team comprises of me, my wife Jill, my son Tyler, our friend Jeff, our friends Shaun and Brenda. My son in laws parents. The Holtmeyer team is not going to make it for this one. They had a new member that was born a couple of months ago that changed their plans. Not a bad thing, but we will miss having them there.

Weapons for this trip are as follows. I will bring a 500 Jeffery running 450gr Shock Hammers at 2700 fps and 17 Hornet running 21gr Hammer Hunters running at 3650 fps. Jill will be bringing the 20" barreled 6.5 BeanMore running the 112gr Hammer HHT at 3130 fps. Tyler will be bringing his 300 wm running the 182gr Hammer HHT at 3300 fps and the 36 Nosler running a 242gr Hammer HHT prototype running at 3075 fps. Jeff will bring his 30-06 running the 154gr Hammer HHT at 3100 fps. Shaun will be running 300 Wby with the 138gr Hammer HHT at a bit over 3650 fps. And Brenda is running the 270 Win with the 122gr Hammer HHT at 3300 fps. I think that is correct vel for the 270 win. Animals on the list for the team will be from cape buffalo down to meerkat. Collectively about 30 animals is my guess for this trip.

I always have a tough time updating while we are there but I am going to try and make an effort to stay on top of it this year. Our first day of hunting should be on Monday as long as we get to camp early enough for an evening hunt. Going to re zero the Jeff today because I had to replace the scope yesterday. That rifle has been a bit of a curse from the start! Wrong stock for the amount of recoil and wound having to intstall a brake in order to be able to manage it without getting the crap kicked out of me. Actually Jeff pretty much whipped my butt! I can manage him now, but still a handful.

Add to the list 308 running 174 HH at 2880fps running a MOA of .378" I'm heading in June for plains game. Good Luck!!

Wonderful experience!

I'm anxious to see how the 36 Nosler works for you. It's one of the only bore diameters I've never played with. It won't do anything that a 375 Ruger can't do, it'll just do it with more style!

As a 9.3x62 fan I'm extremely curious about the 36 Nosler.
Any info on this cartridge would be readily welcome!
Thank you.
