    Travel to Namibia

    Both times I’ve been I went through Frankfurt. It’s easy to get guns through from Germany to Namibia as well. It’s about 26 hours travel if you time it well, and both flights are much easier than the 14 hours to Jberg if you buy the cheap seats like I do . The last trip I actually planned a...

    Hammer vs CEB real world experiences

    I’ve killed 3 zebra, 2 oryx, blue wildebeest, and impala with the 130 gr CEB Raptor from a .300 wsm. Shock and trauma were excellent but penetration was definitely lacking on the zebra. [

    Opinions on this shipping quote

    Well my crate is finally ready for pickup in Dallas and I’m glad this process is done. The initial outrageous quote was from Pronto Global, who I’ve debated on naming as the individual who I communicated with made none of these decisions. I contacted Pronto and told them I would not pay, and...

    35 Whelen with 250 gr Norma Oryx

    Nosler shows the top accuracy for all their tested powders under 250gr bullets as 55.0gr (max) of Varget. My Hornady manual does not list Varget in their data, and I’ve never shot the 250 rn, but they recommend a seating depth of 3.290 to the middle of the cannelure. Hodgdon has load data for...

    35 Whelen with 250 gr Norma Oryx

    A great place to start would be 50 gr of Varget and work your way up. Use Noslers load data for the 250 partition. I’m sure one of our fine forum members from the southern hemisphere will come charging in with a plethora of good information soon enough.
