One might add that they (unknowingly) compensated for their weapons with better hunting technique.

One of the ultimate fails is wearing camo clothes on a bakkie shoot. It does not help at all.

The animals can hear the vehicle miles away - I am always wandering why they stick around so long.

If anyone needs a firearm motivation (S13, S15, S16) then please feel free to send a private mail or Email to Krazong@gmail.com 

I am a dedicated sport shooter as well as a Cat B collector and have helped a lot of people in obtaining new firearms via proper motivations.

......................but it symbolises everything that's wrong with the later day hunter. Corporate hunts are the worst, basically living target shoots.
I look at my Engineering, lawyer friends so called hunts, they hotel room centered shoots, the term "hunt can not be used, it is grammatically incorrect. 

Not very different to a couple of fat okes 'hunting' off the back of a bakkie.

QuoteNo. Most if then were once fired when I received them. They have not been fired more than five times. Thrice is probably correct. 

You speak of these cases as received 1 x shot, are they second hand cases? If so, can we then agree that these cases could then be almost any number of times shot?

I know/knew the original owners of the cases. They bought factory ammo and did not reload. Thus I received (most probably) once fired PMP brass from them. I did not count the amount of times I reloaded them. Given the amount of shots fired, I did not reload them more than three times.

Dit lyk nie soos n bejaarde nie, maar eerder soos n gemaklike. 

Daar is dalk n paar ander tegnologiese uitvindings in sy arsenaal, soos bv battery-gedrewe verwarmers in sy sokkies.

En soos 'n mens n "fish finder" op n skiboot kry, wag ek vir die dag dat iemand 'n "buck finder" vir die bos ontwikkel.

Waar strek die fyn grens tussen gemak en tegnologie?

I wasn't criticizing the venerable old lady just noting how easy we have it nowadays.

We do have it easy.  I would not want to hunt any dangerous game with a smokepole! 
I guess the old guys had a lot more guts than I.

If you read the old accounts, you will realise that they were happy to be at the leading edge of firearms at the times they were living in. If you read of the purchase of the weapons and their use you get the conclusion that at that time they were feeling no less equipped than any man today using a 458 Win Mag. Just what they had and it worked to a extend and had its limitations, nothing more or less.
You never read that they were disappointed or stated how pathetic their weapons were, though you did read of recoil and wet powder etc
