Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

New Zealand Special Part 1
Q: What do you think makes a trophy a trophy?
A trophy is whatever you want it to be; it could be a physical trophy or just a memorable experience.
375 H&H For Cape Buffalo
Q: How much do you think the bullet choice in your 375 contributed to your situation?
Juan reflected that the choice of bullet contributed to the problem, noting that the partition bullet might not offer the penetration needed for buffalo.
Mr. Spots- Leopard Hunting Basics
Q: What's your thoughts on buckshot for Leopard?
Anyone who has to go in after a wounded leopard really has a major undertaking; leopards are incredibly fast and powerful, making the follow-up a daunting task.
Mr. Spots- Leopard Hunting Basics
Q: What would be your recommendation on some cartridges?
Leopards are thin-skinned and not hard to kill if you hit them right, so a 30 caliber round is sufficient, but a 375 with soft points is a safe choice.
416 Remington for Cape Buffalo
Q: If a guy came to you and said, hey, I'm going on safari, and I'm kind of torn between a 375 and a 416, how would you respond?
I'd say take either one you like. The biggest factor would probably be which one, as a shooter, can you shoot well.
