US sanctions Zimbabwe president Emmerson Mnangagwa over human rights abuses

Phillip, where I read what Lon posted was you have to show all of your brass. Equal what you brought in. Do they actually write it down
Your ammunition count is written on your temporary license. A point some keep missing "you see missing brass", they see missing cartridges.
 
We just completed a 5hr drive from Mlibizi to destination X. We drove past a very large hunting concession. In recent years it was heavily poached by their employees. The reason why they had not got paid. Where did they get the ammo mostly from sympathetic hunters. Maybe that is why they are checking the ammo count in certain areas. Maybe it is because of the importance of who owns that concession.
A box of legal .375 H&H sells for about $400.00 a box. A game ranger can make a lot of money off a free box of ammo. If he had to pay for it, it would make a big dent in his profit off of bush meat, ivory and bones.

I would be interested to hear more on this. I had a strange situation in Harare this summer coming home. They actually freaked out over the EMPTY brass. I had the remainder of my loaded ammo and I had some of my brass, mostly from my double because it has extractors so I stuck them in my pocket then put them back in the box with the ammo. When we checked back in at the airport to leave the freaked out and kept saying they had to "verify" and then did a bunch of fake texting and calling. I told them to just keep it, but they continued carrying on and jabbering with each other and texting people. Finally they said they were going to keep the brass. Ha ha. I was like sure whatever man. I brought the rest of my loaded.ammo home, but they kept like 6 or 8 empty 470 nitro brass?
Probably were still working on their personal cartridge wall collection...

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
