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.

I have been trying to figure everything out with dies and Lott brass. I think the Gunshop has got it wrong. Peering in to the die, I can see a chamfered step. If you look at the pic with unsized brass in the die, the lip of the brass catches on the chamfer for creating the neck. I then ran some...

Hi guys, just picked up dies for my 458 lott and see they are marked 458 african. I emailed safari and outdoor Joburg and they said they had Lott dies so I just picked them up and paid. Now back at the hotel and see African. I suspect they will work because african is just longer. Please confirm...

I have used Somchem but this load is Vihtavuori 130 or 130.

Interesting input- general consensus seems to be 2 sandbags. The simple life!
