Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Buffalo bullets

Saeed makes his own Bullets from solid round stock. They’re 300 grain moly coated mono metals that he calls Walterhog Bullets, for his good friend and sidekick Walter, who does a lot of gunsmithing work for the family. He has an impressive gun shop with a couple CNC lathes for building rifles and making bullets, right on the compound where he lives. The 375/404 wildcat he shoots is also his own design, based on a Dakota model 76 action with 26” Lilja barrel. He is a gun nut like few others and a delight to spend time with. I’ve visited him a couple times when passing through Dubai and those visits have been highlights of my trips. Anyone who gets an invite to meet him should take him up on it, he’s a wonderful fellow with a great sense of humor.

Is he a liberal or a democrat?

Did he support President Trump?

He is not a liberal by any stretch of the imagination. He actually thinks all of our politicians are incompetent crooks (maybe not all, but at least 95%). He has a very low opinion of American politics. He’s actually fascinating to discuss world affairs and politics with. They’re more open minded and reasonable there than you’d imagine.

Bullhit. He's a democrat ball washer and so is his site administrator.

I agree, he is part of 5% ultra elite that happens to enjoy firearms and hunting.

Be danged Jorge, they've always been the first ones i try, and 99% on the time stay there, have always shot really well for me, iirc that old 300 H&h i bought from you loved 180gr Barnes, never tried em in it, that thing eats 200-220gr partitions over H-4831 like candy, sweet old pre-64.

If not for American technology and inventions the place would be named dontbuy-cantbuy................there would be no dubai! still shackin in sand tents tending goats!

Yup... oil screwed us.. they haven’t been anything but a headache since...

Yep, and they despise us, finance terror against us with OUR money. you cant make that shlt up Buddy.

That’s a fact. SOBs aren’t our friends.

Dang right Buddy.

Jorge, I guess you and I know him differently. Yes, his site administrator is a lib, but he’s also Jewish and the fact that Saeed has employed him for decades does say something about Saeed. Back when he hired Don, not a lot of Arabs would employ Jews. Saeed is very pragmatic, open-minded and fair from what I know of him. I’m aware that you frequent AR, but not sure how well you actually know Saeed. I know him enough to know that I like him a lot more than some (many) others who lurk there. He’s always been straight up with me and is a very gracious host. Some people whom I know extremely well and trust, people who know him much better than any of us ever will, regard him very highly. That’s good enough for me. I’ll see him very briefly later this year in Tanzania. I’ll be sure to tell him you send your regards.

CA: Please don't. I was a member (still am I suppose) of AR since 2001 and I know Saeed very well, perhaps not as well as you but we've had discussions off line for years as well as many of his other acquaintances there. I know DSC supports the site for obvious reasons, but his actions really made it impossible for me to continue. He admitted to me his support of democrats (yes I am well aware of the Don's background). My falling out with Saeed came after he posted an obviously anti-Trump diatribe in the African Hunting threads where before he had limited that to the Political Forums which I NEVER visited. When I called him out on it, he not only deleted his post, but blamed me for bringing politics into that forum. I have a LOT of friends over there and they know my position. I do miss them and for that matter AR, but after that last BS he pulled, I'm done with him and them over there. There are a LOT of people over there who sacrifice their principles to stay on his "good side", but you know what? without principles and honor, a man is nothing. And let's not even go into the leach called Walter whose anti-Americanism is off the peg.

Cheers,

jorge

He needs to worry about his own schithole, backwards azz, goat fugging country before he comments on America.

He’s the Sultan of slum.

Jorge, fair enough. I remember the incident to which you refer. I don’t begrudge you, or him.

I must say though, I do find some of the other poster’s comments amusing.

Yeah, well I can't control the comments. I didn't read most of them I think after Saeed's last comments to me. Too bad for me I guess. I miss going there and my friends therein..

A-Frames for the win.

I 100% agree. These are the primary reasons why I stopped going to AR. Not to mention the arrogance of the the prolific posters over there. The combination is hard to take.

The politics there took a pretty hard turn after 2016. At least that I noticed. Maybe it was present before but I sure didnt notice it to the extent it has been the last 4 or 5 years. It also seems to have driven the dwindling participation.

While I very much like custom rifles, and some great rifle builders post there, the irony of the site owner constantly criticizing US politics while living in a corner of the world that today is rife with human trafficking, slavery, and a myriad of human rights violations most of the developed world left behind a century ago, is too much. No matter how "generous" he may be.

He can have his play ground. I don't need to participate.

As to bullets...I havent shot a buff, but I'd happily shoot partions, TTSX, Aframes, DGX, or a handful of other bullets given the opportunity. If I was to pick one, it'd be between the TTSX or the partition just based on reports from those that post here that have. I think most bullets today are very capable.

Call and ask your guide which bullet(s) he recommends. He knows your hunt FAR better than anyone e;se. Also ask him what he shoots. After the call you're know more than anyone else here.
