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!

I thought I saw a set over on long range hunting not too long ago.

It is also suggested to prevent lazy scammers from taking the pics and using them to make scam ads. If you put the paper over a part that is hard to photoshop in, it makes it harder for them.

That sounds interesting too. Could always use a 300 norma mag case to shorten a little more too. I wonder how that case improved would do? And with a bullet seated out a little more.

That was my goal, but with using lapua brass being a bonus.

I was thinking of stuff off of an 300 ultra case too. Mostly 416 or 375 is what I had pondered. But I really want something in .458 for some reason.

Thanks Steve! I had head that it was heavier on the lapua as well. As was stated in the video above, that seems a good advantage if I had to load at 80° here in Minnesota and then got over there and it was over 100° in Africa for a hunt. Even less chance of getting stick bolt with a load a...

Older thread, but I wasn't impressed with ADG ultra mag brass. It showed pressure signs at book start loads. After I saw that, I went on long range hunting forum, and saw that others noticed the same. I would start with peterson brass for ultra mag. It was only the ADG ultra mags guys were not...

Thanks! That's what I was hoping to learn.

That's another thing I was after. The shorter length.

Cool. I was wondering about that too.

I was tempted to improve the case as well, but was mostly after a 458 bullet in it.

Yes and no. I just like the idea and want something to do for fun. No big deal to have a local guy laser etch the case head to make it all match the stamp on the barrel. I'm more interested in the lapua brass.

They shortened the case up. I haven't really look into if they bumped the case pressures up though. The main thing for me is to be able to use good 338 lapua brass that I already have a lot of.

We just have to remember that all reloading primers and a lot of powders that they sell to the public are surplus to the contracts that they have. We only get leftovers. When their manufacturing products of final product availability changes we are the last ones to get anything. I started...

I was thinking of necking up the lapua to 458 or even 416. Have any of you done this for hunting in Africa? Only saw guys doing this for ELR stuff mostly on other forums. What kind of performance did you get? Thanks, Kyle

I really like the tsx, but had a bad experience with the ttsx (tipped) it was in a rifle with a slower that the normal twist rate for a 7mm-08 on the tipped one though. The bullet didn't seem to open and destroy the heart and lungs like the tsx and other ttsx before that one. I went back to the...

That's what it is. I bought 250 pieces when they offered the 250 pack.

Thanks. I was hoping for something longer to do a 338 lapua AI on.

Do you happen to know what cartridge length the mag box will allow?

They have a good deal on primed 375 h&h brass too.

I seriously considered it. I like custom rifles and an action for the ruger is easy to find. Then I found a 375 a bolt for way less than a custom costs to build

As sika98k said above, the browning abolt can be has reasonable in a left hand model sometimes.

I ended up getting the same rifle in left hand. Now I have to load some ammo and dial it in. Love them a-bolts.

You are going to have a great time! Welcome!

You have some really good advice from others here, and I don't need to repeat it. The only thing that I can add after looking at his website is that his prices seem to be double the prices that I pay in Namibia for plains game. The travel thing is easy enough to do yourself if you aren't...

Really appreciate the tag but I will be working then out of the state most likely.

With lapua making 300 wsm brass that 25-300 wsm could be sweet. Those would probably sell good over on accurate shooter forum if you are on there.

That flight from Chicago to Addis left Addis without me and my cousin after we departed Chicago 40 min late with a 35 min layover in Addis.

I've only had one bad experience sending stuff back to the factory and that was an ar15 barrel that went back 3 times. The third time I asked for a refund and they sent a check, so it wasn't ever bad since they gave me shipping labels to return it everytime. The guns and uppers I've sent in all...

-22° F for me this morning here in Minnesota.

Too bad they probably don't ship to the US. Haha

I was going to share your link from long range hunting but you beat me to it. Haha

I thought about that too, but I came to the conclusion that if I was doing all of the same stuff. Then I would be better off to neck up a 338 lapua case and improve it in a .375 cal. Mostly because of the availability of lapua brass to start with. Unless you could get peterson to use.

I could meet ya up there sometime this summer. I live 45 min south on 47 from the east side and my buddy has a camper by MSA bar that I can sleep at.

I use paypal and venmo. Or a post office money order. Everyone thinks that paypal friends and family are risky, but if you use it through your bank account, you can go to your bank and use them to dispute it as fraud and get the money back from paypal. Even with the "unprotected" forms with...

I've only been there once. I am going to do things differently the next time. I flew Ethiopian. I would use them again, but not the travel agent we had. She was through the outfitter we used. After doing that, I'm not scared to line up my own stuff.

I hunted at game ranch transvaal. Fanie Heimstadt was the PH.

Thanks the kind words! That was a bucket list animal for me and I got it in my first 2 hrs of hunting in Namibia. I couldn't believe it. The other animals didn't come so easy. Haha

Right?! What winter?! And thats a nice kudu by the way. Here is mine.

Nice rifles. Have a free bump to the top from a fellow lefty.

Those were some nice rifles that you had. As a fellow lefty, I wish I would have been on here sooner and seen that .375.

Hello Africa Hunting community! You may know me from the other Accurate Shooter, Snipershide, and Long Range Hunting forums under the same user name. Went to Namibia for my first African hunt in 2021 and have another trip planned for 2025. Hoping to learn some stuff and share with all of you!

I was 38. Went to Namibia for plains game. Hopefully, I will be going back in 2025, and then again as soon as possible. Haha
