In a recent post @Ridge Runner stated that on exiting Zimbabwe he was told that his hollow point ammo (Barnes) was illegal in Zimbabwe and to never bring them back in. This the first time I've heard of this. Does anyone know if what he was told was true or just an uninformed comment from the customs officer?
 
I suspect its bogus, but who knows. A Zim member can hopefully clear it up.
I used them when last there but it was about 10 years ago.
 
Shakedown strategy I assume.
 
I also never had them inspected at customs when I came in, just counted. I have entered Zimbabwe many times with CEB Raptors and no one ever said anything.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
