It's a rough time to get back in to reloading. Thankfully I had started down this road pre-pandemic and wasn't caught too short. Unfortunately, I didn't realize just how much I'd like the 9.3 when I bought it 3 years ago. Ammo was reasonable then and I just figured I'd shoot factory. Down to a...

The problem with these forums is that they're like going to your smack dealer to help you get off the junk...

Thank you, shootist. My hesitation today was this- I have 100 285gr Oryx waiting to be loaded. The problem is I don't have the Norma brass I'd like to have to work up a load for those Oryx. I can find it but most is $2.50-$3 apiece. I also have a couple hundred Speer 270gr bullets waiting to be...

Tucson, I did the same, only for 30-06. I paid $28ea a few months ago for a few boxes of the 150gr Whitetail. Initially I was mainly wanting it for the brass. Took it to the range a month back and set up on the 200yd backer. Shot three, looked through the spotting scope and thought "Wow, this...

Specifically the 9.3x62 286gr Oryx. It's my understanding that Norma has nixed this line but I'd like to hear some thoughts if anyone has used it. From what I've read here, Norma's Oryx bullet seems well-regarded. In addition, Norma brass is some of the best so that's a plus. Does their ammo...

Sierra, I'm not much of a storyteller. I will share a couple pics from Hwange and from my time in the villages. And, since this is Africa Hunting, a shot of two rather ugly Beasts.

My name is Marcus and I currently reside in south-central Pennsylvania. After years of being an AH voyeur, I finally registered a month or so ago. I've made a few posts in that time and felt I should formally introduce myself. While I don't have the African CV many here have, I'm certain my...

Another spin for the last few hours of the cheap shipping offer.

Thought these might be of interest to some. One dollar shipping through tomorrow as well. https://www.shootersproshop.com/375-h-h-300gr-trophy-grade-solid-safari-ammunition-blem.html https://www.shootersproshop.com/375-h-h-300gr-trophy-grade-safari-partition-ammunition-blem.html

Might be of interest to Lowa fans. Zephyr Hi GTX- $119

For my feet, I haven't found anything better than Crispi. I've pretty much lived in a pair of uninsulated Crispi Nevada GTX for the last two years. Work (on my feet all day- concrete to soil); hunting (mostly upland but some big game) and leisure, they're what I wear. I can't say enough good...

George, PM Eric Zelanko. He just mentioned to me this evening that he is looking for your Barnes 250gr bullets. https://www.africahunting.com/members/eric-zelanko.27600/

Polywad has undergone some drama in the last few years and has essentially been out of business for that time. Unless something has changed recently, you won't find any new stock shotshells from them. There are some RST 8s currently on Gunbroker along with these- Westley Richards 16ga

Excellent use of what look to be Mig wire barrels?

It might be best to decide what the main purpose of the gun is to be before proceeding. You mention target shooting and waterfowl with heavy loads. A properly scaled upland double is not the best fit for either of those pursuits. Light for gauge target loads would allow a path for target...

One fact that often gets overlooked in discussions such as this is the rather significant amount of money these other members of the US gun community contribute to conservation through Pittman-Robertson excise taxes.

Yes, that drive might be a bit more than you'd want to make for a pound or two of powder. Looks as though you may have gotten some help, though. If not, best of luck in your search. Trying times. I have friends in Puyallup. Some beautiful areas up there in the Pacific NW.

I picked up a pound a few weeks ago at one of the shops I frequent here in SC Pennsylvania.The shop has a two bottle limit and I needed 4064, too. Otherwise, I would have grabbed another. They've been receiving fairly regular, but small, orders of most Ramshot powders for some time now. I'm...
