Peterson just released brass for the 6.8. Probably still some around. I got a bunch of stuff from drifters gear a few months ago for my 6.8. They had dies and brass cheap. And some a box of cheap wim ammo for 40 bucks to break in my barrel and make a modified case to find coal.

You all can blame me for this. Haha. Fanie is a great guy that I have hunted with twice. I did a google search for his place and this thread came up right away. I was looking for a link to send a friend. I commented here because he is a good guy and brought this back from the dead. Haha

Just saw this. I've hunted with Fanie twice. A great place here. I'll bring this back from the dead.

You're on here too. Haha. Let you know when the browning stock shows up.

Not all wrong. The only time in my life I wished I had more gun was shooting kudu and orxy with a 7mm rem mag and an eland with a 300 win may. They died fine. Just lived longer aftet I shot them than I am used to and ran farther than I was used to from deer hunting.

Probably not worth it if the plains game is larger stuff like orxy, kudu, eland, or waterbuck. If its smaller stuff like impala, springbok, warthog and that size it would be.

Not in a .375, but the 180 cx in a 300 WM from an eland looked like this. 2 shots in the eland. They could only recover 1 bullet.

Ken Moody that does buffalo mostly says 5%.

Nicole at Gracy was really good to me too. And really helpful.

I did the Cape Town to Windhoek route last time. I thought it was a lot nicer than going through Joburg too.

Adg did 375 ruger brass. You can always neck it up or call and ask if they have plans to do 416 ruger. They seem to be the ones wanting to do new stuff and less popular stuff.

With any gun or ammo they do production runs of large quanities at a time. You just have to wait until they do a production run. They obviously do the most popular stuff first and most often. People like us just have to wait longer between those runs of less popular stuff. The positive thing now...

Can you please pm me some pics of that savage in the mcmillan? Also if you have any browning abolts to send down the road, feel free to send pivs and info on them. Thanks, Kyle

I sent you a pm in case the OP isn't interested in any of those.

I think you would like Namibia. The guy I use there is Game Ranch Transvall. He offers tours of a rhino conservancy, tours of Etosha National Park, and has great plains game hunting with very reasonable prices.

I have a vx2 3-9×40 that may be available.

That seller is also good to sell offsite so you can get a better deal if you message through the ask seller a question. I bought a rifle from him about a month ago.

This exactly. The guy probably paid half of what he is asking and stuff isn't even going for half of some of the prices now. I was at a gun shop last week that sold more decent stuff and the guy said it's tough right now and sold me a new left handed rifle at less than cost because he didn't...

If you used any payment method tied to a bank account, even if they said no purchase protection, like paypal friends and family, you can go to you bank and report it as fraud and the bank will dispute it with the others for you.

Sadly, I know exactly what ones you are talking about.

The input from others makes me less optimistic. Sounds like my state of MN wrecking great deer hunting with wolves.

This kind of stuff is great. I wish more places would use this kind of info for better. As well as predator control. All of the tools are in the tool box. So many go unused. It's nice to see stuff done better. Thanks for sharing.

If you have any fired brass can I buy 10 or so pieces from you to make some dummy rounds to see how they cycle in an action that I want to convert?

Can I ask who did the work on the browning for you? I want to do an abolt in 458 lott.

You were right, I do own a abolt in 375 h&h. I recently changed my mind and want to keep that one for larger game like eland. I'll find another abolt. With the 375 mags you get a 3.700" mag box that has enough room. And no mods needed for longer. Unless you want to do a little work on the mag...

You totally understand the frustration then. Haha! I just want to make sure I'm going to get great feeding from the larger diameter bullets, but a gentleman over on long range hunting siad that shouldn't be hard to get working great if it's an issue. Now to find my donor rifle...

I agree on the recoil, but with a limbsaver pad to replace the factory, no worse than anything else to me. I happen to have a McMillian stock for an abolt already. And the trigger adjists down to 2.5 lbs which I like for hunting. I really like the safety location on the browning rifles a lot...

I have a left hand browning abolt 7mm mag that could be used for a donor action if that interests you.

I liked coming into Cape Town and then to Windhoek from there better than Addis to Windhoek, that turned into Addis to Joberg to Windhoek. Cape Town was easy to do on my way back by myself after I had an escort show me how to go through on arrival. If you are using Airlink to get to Windhoek...

Yea, made the one layover option not an option. Haha. Going through cape town wasn't bad at all. I had the meet and great the first time there. That was nice

I was told that there was a $250 per gun per gun charge. Both to and from. Plus a Frankfurt firearm permit. My 2 rifles would have been $1k + the Frankfurt permit.

I wanted to go that way the last time, but found out that the rifle fees were really high.

I had the same experience with them. Missed connecting flights in and out. The food I had at the hotels was really good though.

I liked going through Cape Town. My travel lady got me set up with just enough layover so it wasn't bad that way for me. I'd rather get there fast personally.

What were the hang ups in Ethiopia? I was considering that way also?

Thanks, I found a guy that does rebarrels on browning abolts all of the time and he said its no big deal. Another friend did one and said it wasn't a big deal either. That's what got me thinking that I would like to use one. I will be running it with a something like a nightforce 1-8x, so I...

Now if only there was a direct flight from the US to Windhoek, so we didn't have to go through another place to make it really easy.

Hi, I'm thinking that I would like to rebarrel a browning A-bolt from 375 H&H to 458 Lott. Has anyone done it? I'm left handed and really like the 60° bolt and safety location on the browning a-bolts. Looking to see if there were any feeding or reliability issues as this will be used for cape...

What was said below. I couldn't believe how fast and easy it was at the airport in Namibia. SA was way more paperwork just to pass through in transit.

SA wasn't really a problem. Just tell your travel agent to make south africa a final destination for you if you ship your ammo in your checked bag and have a flight with Airlink to go to Namibia. Then book a separate flight to Namibia on airlink. This will make sure that you get the ammo out of...

You're going to have a great time! I've been to Namibia twice and had a great time both trips. Currently working on getting another one booked for 2027 there. I like how easy stuff is there. I did more stuff to travel trough SA with guns than I had to do for Namibia.

They like the bullets spinning faster than normal to help them open up and travel straight through the animal is my understanding.

The twist rates are so they do good on game. Not so much for stability like other bullets list it for.

After hunting over there with a 7mm Mag with 175 soft point bullets, I would say that if you are hunting anything that weighs over 300 lbs, get a bigger rifle. And use all copper bullets. The first time that I went and used that 7mm Mag, was the first time that I wish I would have had more...

Check out this guy. He has some good videos on his site too. If he doesn't have one listed you can probably call and get one for .375. muzzlebrakesandmore.com

Sorry to hear about that. I was in a bad accident at work myself 10 yrs ago this coming sept. It took me 3 yrs and to get back to feeling better. And my doctors said I would never work in construction again. They were wrong. You will be in my prayers. The hard days are bad. I feel for ya.

Since you have a usa place to ship to, here are some good prices I saw. https://www.natchezss.com/rc-fl-die-set-65-06-rc27801 https://www.grafs.com/catalog/category/categoryId/1954

That is a sweet little shotgun. That will make a collector a nice piece. I wish was the guy that could buy that and not use it to shoot varmints in my yard. Have a free bump for a really sweet shotgun.

Welcome from another MN guy that is also into precision rifles!
