    Want to Buy .300 WSM and 7MM reloading dies preferable RCBS but Lee is fine as well

    Is there a reason why you posted the same post 3 times? This is a sign of a scammer or troll. I know the 7mm dies are readily available by most manufacturers. I'm pretty sure it's the same with the 300 WSM dies, just do a Google search.

    If you tag out early what is the normal for the rest of the time left on your safari?

    Holy Sh't!!! Remind me not to book with this outfitter. The eland and gemsbuck prices are a bit high, but for an auction hunt not too bad. However, baboon usually goes from Free to $150.00USD. I have to look at this year's (2025) trophy fees from my 4 outfitters, but IIRC bushpig ranged from...

    If you tag out early what is the normal for the rest of the time left on your safari?

    Definitely check out the trophy list ahead of your trip. TIA! Always expect the unexpected. Most likely this is a 2-1 hunt: 2 clients, 1 PH. Example: you maybe the first hunter/shooter and your group are out for blue wildebeest and you and/or your buddy have impala on your list. Your blue...

    I bought this Isaac Hollis 8 Bore Big game rifle - no clue what to load

    I'm late to reading your OP. As a muzzleloader enthusiast here are my offerings of suggestions and comments. For an 8 bore, Yes. Measure the wedge pin: at base, at tip, the thickness, and the length. You should be able to get a new wedge pin from: Track of the Wolf Log Cabin...

    on a lighter note...

    At a particular Texas Chili Bar. His friends and restaurant staff warned him about the " Flamethrower" recipe chili being excessively hot. Guess they should have told him where the flames come out.

    Cull or an affordable hunt

    700m....IMO you're dreaming....400m will most likely be your max range on a single/ an alone animal....250m max maybe on an animal within a herd. PHs like to keep working as PHs thereby they follow ethical hunting standards and respective country's laws when it comes to hunting, and they like...

    Probably a Dumb Travel with Rifles Question

    @PHOENIX PHIL It's doable...but.... What you and your wife are planning I did solo on my 3rd trip to Africa. Spent 10 days in Zimbabwe followed by 10 days in RSA. I took 2 firearms: 375H&H and 44 mag revolver. Rhetorical question to help with ammo: How many animals are the 2 of you...

    IMPORTANT: Firearms Export Alert – Use of Form 4457 for Temporary Firearms Export

    Aahh....ok...ugh....so how does a notary or sheriff deputy know that the CBP Officer's signature is real, forged, or fictious? Or How does the CBP officer know the sheriff deputy's or notary's stamp is real, forged, or fictious? Or That someone hasn't laser printed blank forms with real...

    IMPORTANT: Firearms Export Alert – Use of Form 4457 for Temporary Firearms Export

    My 4457 were stamped at Tri Cities Airport in Blountville, TN. The question then is: We are talking about other countries and especially Africa. The SAPS people are so accustomed to seeing official stamps on forms. I can only suspect the problems that could arise both trying to import weapons...

    Bob Whelen 35 visits the Gulf of ‘Merica and other Gulf Coast adventures

    @Bob Nelson 35Whelen the exit # is 407, unless you are planning another Cracker Barrel stop. Personally, I can only make a Cracker Barrel stop once every couple of months. Good food, I just don't like the intentional delays that make customers wait and shop in their IMO below mediocre gift...

    Bob Whelen 35 visits the Gulf of ‘Merica and other Gulf Coast adventures

    Bob's Australian, so I'll allow the Australian's their light measurements. The proper "two fingers" is base of pinky to top tip of thumbnail. The other 3 fingers are holding the "ear" / "handle" of the measuring cup. Measuring cup: It would really be nice if someone with connections to...

    Winchester Super Grade m70 .7mm-08

    I would rather a brighter banner color than green for "sold". Maybe blue, yellow, pink, etc. As for the "Red" banner for Scam. The scammer's are relatively easy to spot and the moderators are doing a great job of deleting and banning the "new member" scammer. However, all the scammer does is...
