[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1413084, member: 10291"] My favorite is hunting the big Northern whitetails. The most exciting and unforgettable hunt was an African Lion shot in the Chobe area of Botswana about 25 years ago. This particular lion/pride had killed the only cow owned by a native rancher. We picked up the tracks from the kill at the broken fence and caught up with the pride about a day and a half later, held up in the long grass. This guy was shot at 21 yards with a H&H 450 Express Double Rifle made in 1904. I had to hand-load/regulate the cartridges to the rifle because the original Cordite loads were long discontinued. I acquired custom dyes and reformed from 470 brass, with Woodliegh 480grSP, iMR 3031 with Kapoc filler. This load replicated the test target info I acquired from the records still held by H&H in London. I can still remember every detail of this incredible experience as if it were yesterday. The insert in the photo was the taken from a book published by original owner, William Buckley, a famous hunter/adventurer.. It’s a crummy photo but he is holding the same H&H over one of his lion kills....90 years earlier! [ATTACH]92487[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
