Greetings everyone. New to the forum and decided to join after researching BP hunting in Africa. Was just in SA from May 2 through the 9th. Had taken my flintlocks but the obatex wouldn't work and am planning a return trip to redeem myself with blackpowder guns

Welcome to AH! What's an "obatex"?
Obatex is one of the two "black" powders made and readily available in South Africa. Obatex is a very powerful substitute and ZAR is more of a true black
RHambley, welcome to the forum! It sounds like you have a fun plan for your next Africa adventure! Best of luck!

Welcome.
How about a hunt report giving us the details of getting your BP rifle and accessories into RSA and squirting / purchasing black powder in RSA.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
