We’re taking care of that! Support for 375 Raptor is headed in the right direction. We’re about to launch a store for 375 R loaded ammo and reloading supplies, including 375 Raptor headstamped brass. We’ll have multiple supersonic and subsonic loads available within a few weeks, including some relatively affordable practice/training/pest eradication ammo.

We have a load recipe guide here: https://blackcollararms.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/375-Raptor-Load-Data.pdf

Finally, 375 Raptor is taking steps toward SAAMI standardization, which will be huge for its wider adoption.

The stories of people hunting forest buffalo are amazing. I live in Yaounde when here in Cameroon, hit me up if you ever make it and need an airport pickup or a place to stay in Yaounde.

Cameroon has a bunch of sub species of duikers. I’d like to go after all those. But you also have Forest Buffalo which is pretty high on my list. I am booked up for 2024 and 2025 but maybe after that I’ll have to make a trip to Cameroon.

South Africa has common/gray, blue, and red duikers.

Awesome, good luck! Here in Cameroon they have the duiker and blue duiker, not sure if they have any others.

6 so far. Can probably do the rest with 2 more trips to SA and one more trip to Mozambique.

Which of the tiny ten have you taken? How many countries left to get the others?

I don’t doubt it’s a fine rifle.

It just that the name is mega-cringe-worthy… 🙁

This isn’t Jeremy’s gun anymore, I bought it. I had originally intended on taking a traditional bolt gun in 9.3×62 (a proper bushveld rifle). But this was to be a combination hunt in 2 different countries and some very different areas, to include lots of mountainous terrain in high heat. A super lightweight rifle was appealing. What really surprised me was how accurate and versatile the gun proved to be. I’ve been on 3 different hunts in southern Africa so far this year and this gun was on 2 of them. After watching how this little gun drops zebra, gemsbok, and other big tough game, I’d have no issues taking an elk at 500 yards with it. I am surprised and smitten.
