Many thanks.
I put a bit about it on the News page of my site.I'll also feature the guns we used in my next DGJ article.
However: We shot francolin, guinea fowl, white faced duck and laughing dove (they did not laugh long). I used my 12-bore hammer gun, Michael used his 16-bore drilling.
I also used the drilling on the impala and red lechwe I shot (it was an 8x57). Michael used a 1926 Manton & Co .470 (oddly with pre WW2 German proof marks)double rifle with 500 grain Westley Richards solids.
The elephant took us eleven terrifying days of hunting through mopane scrub until we found a 'big tusker' - over 70lb a side and nice, even ivory. Once we found him, he was on the deck within three minutes. That .470 does the job. I also found teh drilling excellent - flat shooting out to 170 yards and plenty of poke in the 196 grain softs.
