Of the 300 magnum cartridges, which is the most common locally?

In South Africa there are proper gunsmiths and gunshops. There are arm factories, ammunition factories, bullet manufacturers. They produce powders, and you can find almost anything you need.

Except for a few Southern African countries where you do have remnants of the sporting firearms trade, almost everywhere else it has all gone. You can't just walk in a shop and ask for a box of ammo or a replacement rifle, because there are no such shops... The locals have their own channels of supply, with limited choice and availability, and you need to know someone who knows someone in order to get anything.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
