    New Alpine Rifle Criteria

    Consider a Howa 1500 or Weatherby Vanguard in 6.5 PRC with a carbon fiber 24 inch rapped bbl & carbon fiber stock both are light rifles , a 7mm rem mag with a 22 inch bbl is not going to give you its full potential, a 270 WIN would be better in a 22 inch bbl the other option is a Nosler 21...

    best brimmed hat for africa

    As Africa & Australia are both in the southern hemisphere i expect the sun would be similar, a base ball cap offers little sun protection, i have learnt the hard way, a full brimmed hat is required its not a fashion parade its a fight against skin cancer . good sun glasses are required also.

    .375 should be banned from buffalo hunts!

    The Australian / Asian water BUFFALO is not as tough OR AGGRESSIVE as the African Buffalo & can not be compared to them. Thousands have been killed with FMJ 303 & 308 surplus ammo. A 30/06 220 grain or 9.3x62 286 grain will do the job. I shot a lot in the 1980s with 220 grain REM CORE-LOCK...

    Opinion on Lee Classic Cast Press

    I have on old 2015 model & love it it gets lots of use, also have a Redding, Lyman, Simplex an Australian copy of RCBS rockchuker & a new MEC meltalic press , the LEE is as good as any. I do not use any of the quick die change systems i think they are unnecessary .

    Fire Forming Question

    The old 308 Norma is a belted case that head spaces off the belt , just fire them as normal hunting ammo & they will blow the shoulder foreword & adjust the sizing die to not set the shoulder back when reloading them, you will achieve little by blowing the shoulder foreword with reduced loads.
