I would bed them both with epoxy. I am not familiar with the Winchester front lug but You just need to think about getting both lugs to bear the recoil evenly. On the CZ, it has a metal insert under the barrel so i bedded that first, ensuring good contact and could push back against that steel...

I have done both over the years. I have settled on using a sling. I want to be involved in the bush and in the hunt. I don't want to be watching my barrel all day. Safety first. I know a PH who got shot in the ankle by a client. How would you feel if you shot someone by accident ?

The CZ has a barrel and an action lug. I bedded both on my CZ 458 lott. You don't say if yours is a big bore, I think high recoil rifles benefit from both lugs being bedded. Small bore, probably free float the barrel. I think with high recoil, correct bedding of barrel and action lugs helps...

I have seen Corelock used on a bushbuck and Kudu. I don't recall the calibre, 300 win mag I think. I also remember a hunt in Mozambique where the camp 30-06 took a sable, reedbuck, and Eland. The Eland dropped to the shot but was still alive. It then took the remaining 3 in the magazine+ 2 x 0...

Please clarify- as I understand, as you push the bolt forward, the round feeds into the chamber and slides under the extractor at the last second ( that is my assumption because it extracts and ejects). So your real worry is the timing of the round popping up the bolt face and under the...

I worked at a place that did glass fibre reinforced plastic moulded parts for our machines in house. We had an old guy that did the casting and laying up of the fibre. It is a polyurethane resin. He would lay down several layers of Cobra wax- simple paraffin wax for floors. He would let each...

I managed to sell the dies in Harare for what I paid and have ordered the correct dies. Hopefully arriving this week. Thanks for the offer.

That looks like it originates in the crossbolt. Pretty unusual because the crossbolt is a compression device and doesn't carry recoil. Is your crossbolt tight ? In my opinion, the only true fix would be to put a new section of wood in there. You can try to epoxy bed the crossbolt while...

1. Ask your PH. He will be the one standing next to you if it goes wrong. 2. You don't need solids at all for buffalo. Even tsx may be a bit to penetrative in a herd.It may be useful to have a few on your belt if you bump into elephant.

That is it exactly, my CZ hung up on that exact spot. Magazine box bent inwards will cause rounds to jump out of the action. Bowed outwards causes rounds to stick under the rail. In essence, you are changing the width of the magazine box. That could possibly be your problem.

I have been a member of the forum for many years and found the forum to be filled with knowledgeable and helpful people. Yes there were differences but most were civil and did not become personal. I am increasingly seeing men and women who parade their ignorance for all to see and cast doubt on...

Check the bottom edge of the left locking lug. The left bullet slides up the corner of the lug and onto the bolt face it might have a burr or need a gentle radius. I had that problem before. The right side has the extractor which can have a similar problem but feeding off the right rail...

Did you get the reloading dies that you were looking for? I just got dies from Safari and Outdoor in error. I asked for 458 lott and they gave me 458 african. I am in the process of trying to return them and get Lott dies.

Just watched this video on YouTube. I think it does a good job on the endless bullet selection argument. They all work well. It was interesting to see that TSX gets 20 % more penetration but gives up about 20 -25% wound diameter. Swings and roundabouts- if you gain in one area, you have to give...

Thanks Mark, measuring the brass from my experiment, the dies are exactly that cartridge. Wrong dies from the gunsmith and now I am back in Zimbabwe with a waste of time.
