It gets worse. I am currently sitting in a hotel room in Bangor Maine after my Bangor to Newark flight was delayed and oversold. The gave us boarding passes written in ink. We boarded and guess what! Our seats belonged to someone else. So we deboarded got luggage and guns off plane. Then our...
August 21. Yes have multiple copies of 4457 and passport. My flight over they were waiting for me when I got off the flight. I had a 45 minute layover. She escorted me to the ground floor and they inspected guns and forms. All went smooth and they made sure I didn’t miss my flight. Probably...
We are currently in the middle of a bear hunt and used United through Newark. They cancelled the second leg of our flight (due to weather) as we were boarding the plane. The weather was absolutely fine at that location! We rerouted to a destination 160 miles south. No weather and NO luggage...
I might, but I think 2300 will be enough. I’m going to load up 20 and see how accurate they are. I’ve only shot a few so far but they were accurate. Thanks
Funny,
I just started my workup using H4831 for my Dakota76 416 Rigby. I am using 400 grain aframes. I got 2250’s with 95 grains and 2300 or a hair less with 97 grains. Sd and Ed single digit. Was accurate. Going to load some more and practice but I think I found my load.
I started out with 760 but switched to Winchester Staball 6.5 Because of temperature sensitivity. I started working up my load in the winter and by summer I had a couple sticky cases With the 760, along with about 100 fps increase in velocity. The staball 6.5 powder and 300 gn Swift A/frame...
I was able to get my Visa upon arrival at the Beira airport. I think it was cheaper than getting it ahead of time. The Mozambique embassy in Washington DC never responded to the application I sent to them online.
Just traveled Ethiopian Airlines Chicago-Beira,Mozambique with a stop in Addis. They never checked my ammo at any point on my flights but did ask if my ammo was inside my checked baggage in a locked container. I used a case similar to the one Tundra tiger has pictured with master locks on it. As...
Thanks....I spoke to my outfitter today and he said it would be no problem to get it on arrival. Has a client in camp now that did the same thing. Next time I will apply further in advance. Never had to get a Visa and the process takes more time than I thought.
was your friend able to get a visa at the entry point In Mozambique? I leave in less than 10 days. I submitted my application last wk but have not heard back and get no response from the embassy In Washington on the status. I guess I will still have to overnight my passport and supporting docs...
I was told by Qatar that they would not accept my firearm info any earlier than 15 days before my flight. I got that response by email. i spoke to three different reps on the phone with at least 3 hours of hold time total for the calls...each rep told me something different. I have since...
Is a 55 minute layover in Addis Ababa enough time to make a connecting flight with firearms??
I don't have many flight options. Scrambling to make new flight arrangements to avoid permit issue with SA and Mozambique:mad:
I have been developing a 375 h and h load. I switched from 300 grain Dgx to 300 grain aframes and had to back the load off 4 grains because of pressure signs....sticky bolt and a jump in velocity.
Thanks for all the info! I just cancelled my Delta flight and am booking QATAR. I have a 2 hour layover in DOHA before my JNB flight and was concerned I might not have enough time. Thanks
Can someone who has flown through DOHA to JNB recently on QATAR tell me what steps I will have to go through after landing in DOHA with firearms (hunting rifles)? I want to make certain I have enough time to catch my flight to JNB.
I love my “new model” A5. Bought my first one when they came out in 11 or 12. Hunted with it ever since. Have a couple more in the safe but the first one is going strong. I have the 3” and it cycles dove loads as well heavy duck/goose loads great. Only cycling problem I’ve ever had is when I go...
