.577 Express?

No sir. Those things develop about 115# of recoil, unpleasant. It's an old African cartridge, 450 .400 3-1/4. Shoots a 400 Grain bullet at about 2150-2200 FPS. Very manageable recoil. Also it only weights about 9.5 pounds. Can carry it all day. Something people don't think about is not only gun weight but ammo weight. Ya gotta carry enough to shoot your way out of a firefight if necessary.

There’s a minimum caliber required for certain big game as I recall?

Impressive! I love weapon history, so entrenched in daily lives across the planet, you can learn so much by the research.

Most African countries have a minimum DG caliber of .375. But it isn't enforced.

I have a .500 Nitro-Express. Its a real handful to shoot. It weights 10#, which is too light for a 570 grain, .510 diameter bullet. Its actually unpleasant as hell.

How do the poachers like it down range?

Damn...that’s a long time.
What were they attempting to poach?

I saw a documentary some years back that showed like army guys hunting elephant poachers with FAL’s.
They shot those dudes in a firefight. Killed them dead. They weren’t fucking around.

No, its rough these guys tried to shoot at us. Big mistake. We had high ground, cover and lots of ammo. They were poaching animals, anything they could catch and wood. They cut trees down and burn them into charcoal. A huge deforestation issue, all over Africa.

We lost a leopard bait the day before in the same area. These fuckers stole it. We confiscated all the snares in the picture. We also took their axe and two rifles. I tried to take the axe home but the took it out of my gun box in the Dar es Salaam airport.

This is a friend of mine in Zambia. He confiscated all these rifles and snares in one hunting season.

And people think hunters are the problem? Without hunters all these snares are still in the bush.

Holy shit.

He got a hunting area cheap from the Zambian game department. It was classified as "depleted" he put two seasons of anti poaching in and he now has a viable hunting area. People have no clue how bad the poaching problem is.
