Beware QuickLoad

Here are images (swiped from the 'net) of Mannlicher Schoenauers that were purchased by John Huston before going to Africa for location shooting of The African Queen.

His daughter, Angelica, has a vacation house not far from where I now sit and if I ever run across her I might ask if she inherited / still owns them.

I finally got everything straightened out and it works fine. I was just frustrated with no customer service that could help me. I now have the latest version as well and no bugs!!!!
 
so i use the QL shot start for aframes. cuts back on the velocity but oh well...
Drawn copper tensile strength is ~66kpsi and has huge bearing surface vs gilding metal ~32kpsi and
pure copper bullets have driving bands and much less surface.
 
Now that I have all the kinks out and it is working great for me, when using my chronograph I always notice the actual FPS are a little under QL which is fine given they want to be conservative for saftey. I always use QL to get me started then fine tune.

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,
