Anyone do this or have knowledge, (resize 358 Norma to 338 WM)? I purchased 25 358 new factory Norma brass a few years ago, then resized and trimmed to 338 WM. I never reloaded any and cannot find where I read this is acceptable. Measurements look good and the shoulder measures only about...

Curious what is correct for Ammunition "Type" on the SAPS Form 520. Just the caliber or "Softs" (or "Solids" as the case may be)? Thanks.

Hopefully this is the correct forum. Just wondering if anyone in the industry has an idea if Southwest will recover in time for the Dallas Safari Club Convention next week. I'm booked for Jan 5 arrival at Dallas Love Field and guessing a good number have similar flights. 2,357 out of 2,451 SW...

I've now had my 9.3x62 for over a year and have developed a good/accurate load for the 250 Nosler AB. I generally shoot that load pretty well, but did not take it to Africa on my first go last month. In a head to head, I simply shot the 30-06 with 180s better. (And 100% good first round hits...

https://sa-covid-19-travel.info/ I'm trying to open the above link to the required S.A. health department questionnaire. Required to be completed online not more than 48 hours before start of travel. (Or so says my notes.) I keep getting the dreaded: This site can’t be reached Any ideas on...

Anyone travel with and/or use a CPAP (sleep apnea) device on Qatar Airways? I found their written policy on-line and it appears they lump a CPAP device in with more serious respiratory gear. I was not sure if policy was out ofdate so I spoke with a customer service representative. He chased...

Hunting in South Africa this July and have been getting quotes from @LIFE-FORM TAXIDERMY They were kind enough to get with their S.A. shipping company who also provided several projections for air freight to Dallas (also Denver) as well as by ship to Houston. My freight request was for three...

I was in the process of ordering a Bell and Carlson stock for my CZ 550 American in 9.3x62 (standard length action). So I called B&C with a few questions. The 9.3x62, like it's bigger brothers, has a 2nd recoil lug on the barrel - which I understand is removable. The biggie is will it be a...

Getting ready to start load development on a new CZ 550 American in 9.3x62. :) Standard FL RCBS dies, Lapua Brass and a box of factory Lapua (220 mono metal) ammo arrived today. Along with some 250 gr Nosler AB's and 232 gr Norma Vulkan bullets. I typically use the Hornady Cartridge Headspace...

I'm in the process of working up 30-06 loads for a July 2020 Limpopo Plains Game hunt, to (hopefully) include BWB, Zebra, Gemsbok, and Kudu, plus some smaller animals. Looking for favorite 30-06 load data with the 180 grain Swift bullets, or similar. These are my top bullet choices for a new...

Due to the somewhat limited flights out of Albuquerque, we are going to spend the night in Atlanta in route to S.A. (Delta 200). This will be next July. Is there a preferred place to stay that won't hassle us when we check in with rifle cases? There is a Holiday Inn Express close to the...

Hi guys (and gals), I'm getting into the nitty gritty of actually planning and booking a South African Plains Game hunt for 2020. Probably looking at mid to late July or August. Naturally I'm finding out that things can get pretty expensive in a hurry depending on what and even where you hunt...

Hi all, I found this site after digging a 1980's era Sako AIV .338 Win Mag out of the safe last summer and working up a modern load. This brought back an almost forgotten bucket list dream of hunting Southern Africa. Not sure the old (almost 70 year old) body will be able to make the trip, but...
