Elephant caliber

I'm starting to put my mind towards wanting to complete my Big 5. With that in mind, I'm trying to decide on a caliber for an elephant. I currently have a Winchester M70 in .375 H&H for everything else. I originally was going to go with a .458 Win Mag but from what I've been reading/researching, there's mixed reviews on the Win Mag for elephant. So then I've been looking at the .458 Lott. I don't have the $15-75k+ for a double rifle (my plan is a non-trophy elephant and a green rhino hunt)...

Stop in for Supper, friend

My two finest rams that I ever produced wouldn’t sell at my price. So being a practical man, rather than give all my years of breeding away for $79/cwt, I slaughtered them, hung them for 10 days and processed the saddle of each for the table and froze the rest for the dogs.

387#’s of mutton. I think they look glorious.

We have a thread for cigars, another for whiskey. Figured I’d invite a crowd and start a thread for what is for dinner tonight.

Selling your trophy room....

I just went through the process of downsizing and selling a large collection of Africa, Asia and American mounts.
Heartbreaking but needed.
Sold the lot through an auction service in Ft. Worth, TX.
They did an outstanding job and I got a lot more than I ever imagined.

If you need this service, I would recomment them - www.westernsportsman.com

They were honest and paid very quick.

PM me if you need info.

PS - I do not work for them nor rep them. I just used their services.

How Many Barnes rounds in 375 before you have accuracy degradation from copper fouling

Howdy,

Working up 375 loads for RSA safari in a few weeks. Barnes 300 TSX at around 2625 and 250 TTSX at around 2825. I've found interjecting standard cup and core bullets in the session kills the Barnes accuracy until cleaned thoroughly. Any experience on how many rounds you get before the barrel needs to be clean?

appreciate any exerience
