Hi everyone,
I've been a member of this great forum for several years so my "Hello there" post is well overdue.
I'm fortunate that I grew up in South Africa and hunt there frequently. I've only hunted plains game, mainly for biltong. I now live in Australia and have acquired a .500 Jeffery and a .435 PH Express to help me achieve my childhood dream of hunting dangerous game.
 
:S Welcome:
 
Welcome to AH HJS!
 
Welkom!
 
Welcome to AH!
 
G’day, I’m downunder too.
 
Gday, I am also South African born living in Qld for just over a decade.
If you dont mind me asking, what make and model is your 500 and where did you purchase it?
I am having a bit of a hard time finding dealers that stock large caliber rifles.
My local gunshop is currently inquiring from Winchester USA to source me a model 70 in .416 Rem mag.
 
Howzit!

There's a few good shops in Qld that may be able to help you.
Cleavers firearms in Margate.
Rebel gun works
And
The barn.
I have been able to get brass from them that others haven't been able to get. Admittedly it wasn't for the big boomers but for the almost dead 25-20 wcf.

Welcome from a Mexican.

Good to have another Aussie on board.

I see you're an SSAA member. Your're probably aware of the SSAA BRGC - a great opportunity to meet like minded souls shooting some cool rifles chambered in cartidges that start a 4 or a 5.

... as well as some that shoot cute little rounds like the 9.3s :ROFLMAO:

Sir, I will gladly take that 16 gauge off your hands. I was waiting for your Winchesters but I'm a sucker for a 16 ga.

I bought a great deal of the brass he had for sale, plus I already had many hundred rounds.

How much brass are you looking for?
