It is not Africa-related but I am obsessed with the "perruque" (wig) roe deer.

Always on the look-out for specific things that have eluded me so far. They are out there but it's just a matter of me blundering into them at the right time. Mainly it's cartridges but the platform matters too. A couple of things that do not help matters: Having a C&R license. Just...

Pretty big fan of the Vanguards. One reason is, while attending CST, we used its twin, the Howa 1500 for our project rifles. I've liked them ever since and have around a half-dozen Howa/Vanguard in the safe. Have never really explored the Mark V. Would love a couple of the Weatherby Europa's...

If you don't mind summarizing, what was the story behind GS Custom? I recall they tried to set up a US arm but it did not last. I picked up a couple of boxes of their 180 grain HP in .330" for a 318 Westley Richards build that has yet to materialize.

I have referenced these in past threads but I would love to see both the Speer African Grand Slam and Barnes MRX reappear. Tungsten Rules!

Barnes MRX and African Grand Slam bullets would be most welcome. Keep wishing a U.S. importer would take a substantial stance with RWS components and ammunition. Ever since Huntington's closed, there has not been a regular source for their brass and NECG no longer seems to be able to stock the...

I will take the 500 Jeffery reamer for $100 shipped. PM to follow shortly.

This seems shady or, at least, poor form, especially from a site sponsor. Will wait to see if an explanation or correction is forthcoming (understand it is a weekend). Leaves the impression of false advertising. For the record, I would have interest in purchasing one of these for the listed...

6mm Remington paired with the 100-grain Partition would be near-perfect in my mind.

I am interested in the 30 pcs. of 318 Westley Richards. PM to follow shortly.

Would have some interest but a couple of questions first: Could these be done as flat-tops? Would reduce cost some and then everyone could inlet to precise specs. Fill weight, LOP, etc, could all be uniform. Any paint or finish options?

Jay, Any chance you would consider offering a SS or CPX for the 318 Westley Richards (.329-.330)?

9.3x64 Brenneke 400 H&H Magnum 450 Rigby

The only "new" dangerous game cartridge I can recall is the 10.3x68 Magnum that RWS introduced about five or six years ago. It was not designed solely with DG in mind, RWS viewed it as a modern 10.3mm (.413") for those cantons in Switzerland where this is the minimum caliber allowed for hunting.

Might be a long-shot but any chance you could get a hold of RWS ammunition or brass? Lapua (ammunition and components), North Fork bullets, and upper-end Sellier & Bellot ammunition (Exergy lines) are other products that come to mind.
