Check with Midsouth Shooter's Supply for Win 760, not sure if they have any RELOADER in stock yet. I will need to check who sent me the email notice. I think it was Powder Valley that listed some of your requested powders in stock. Unfortunately I'm in RSA and Africa Outdoors has all of your's...

Thanks for the memories Henry. I had a great time hunting with you and the crew @henry Griffith Safaris. I highly recommend hunting with Henry Griffith Safaris in the North West Province in South Africa. Henry Griffith Safaris was my first outfitter on my 40 Days in South Africa trip. I spent...

On my second trip to RSA I flew this route. Although it isn't a bad flight, our layover was only for refueling with those whose final destination or flight chance were able to disembark the plane the rest of us had to remain on the plane for the IIRC 45 minute refueling. Even though we were not...

Bullets are yours @PARA45. You should able to get them by July, depending on your travel dates.:ROFLMAO:

Apologies all for not reposting sooner. @teklanika_ray is looking for 375 bullets not 270 bullets. The 270 bullets are back up for grabs. Bad news is they won't ship until I return in June from RSA.

I did a quick look up on differences between the Hornet and K Hornet. The K Hornet has a more profile shoulder, which ultimately gives the K Hornet more velocity and longer case life. According to what I read: The standard Hornet case can be shot in the K Hornet and the standard brass will form...

My recipe is: Powder: 10.6gr LILGUN, Bullets: Hornady 55gr FMJ-BT and BTSP, Primers: FEDERAL PREMIUM SMALL RIFLE MATCH Primers. C.O.A.L is: 1.774 - 1.778 inches With the CCI #400 Small Rifle Primers the load gave me an Average Velocity, shooting 20 rounds, using the Garmin Pro Chronograph...

Yes I was. I grudgingly got use to it: And ah 1, ah 2 ah. Same for the Ed Sullivan Show. Although Ed Sullivan did have some interesting guest: Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and a few other good singers and bands. There were more bombs though.

I was able to get 173 rounds of 22 Hornet reloaded last night for todays range day. I couldn't purchase any Winchester Small Rifle Primers locally so I went with Federal Small Rifle Match Primers i have on hand. Of the 173 reloads i shot up 126 at the Range without a misfire, or any other problem.

Congrats to Steve and Maria are their promotions.

For @supergrizzly 338 bullets I'm offering a box of Berger, 270 cal., 130 grainbullets to the first " I'll take them".

Thanks @supergrizzly. Pm sent.

Welcome to AH.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to AH.

If the 338 bullets are still available: I'll take them and put up 100 270/6.8 SPC bullets up.

I haven't been able to acquire Winchester small rifle primers loxalky yet. But I do have and reloaded a 100+ rounds using Federal Match Small Rifle Primers and depending on Wednesday's weather I'll be picking a range to test my reloads.

Congratulations.

@Flewis, I generally keep from voicing thoughts like your reply to myself, mainly to avoid...and that's how the fight started...situations. You just had to enable me to; Should I dire say it: Where's the wide load/ over sized load ahead warning trucks are at? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: That's too...

Nice mental idea. However, Bad advise @ET1775. @csmcclain could be looking at his hospital bill when he awakes from his coma caused by a freak accident, that's according to his wife's statement in the police report, instead of the self induced coma when he sees his safari bill.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Not much of an article on misfires. But good on why misfires can happen. He over rated the percentage of reliability of primers, but then again he was only mentioning Winchester brand primers. Back in the late 80' or early 90's. IIRC, Federal had a recall on ammunition with bad primers. I had...

Welcome to AH.

When I first got mine: I love my Mark X in 458WM. I purchased the 458WM along with the intended 375H&H from another forum member a few years ago, the only thing I replaced on it was the butt pad to get a bit extra LOP and a bit less felt recoil was an added benefit. More recently: a few months...

In preparation for my trip I go online to check out News24 South Africa, Johannesburg, various provinces. W News24 South Africa is where I first read about the abduction, listed as 6 hours ago. It was reported on our local evening 6pm news broadcast making it around 12 + hours later. Then...

I'll have to check. There isn't much of a shoulder on 22 Hornet.

+1 on having a lot of ammo reloaded using CCI primers. I also have several thousands of various calibers reloaded with CCI primers. First time using a "recent" batch, as I stated in my OP I don't remember when or where I purchased these CCI primers; it could have been a couple of weeks ago or...

It's not the firing pin as the firing pin was the first thing I checked; looking for gummed up, worn, chipped, or broken firing pin. The misfires were randomly: 1 to 18+ go bang, then 1 to 3 misfires, then 1 to 18 go bang, then 1 to 3 misfires. Using 3- 6 count magazines, some where in the...

+1. I'll use up these CCI primers reloading only enough ammo at a time for range practice to avoid mixing bad reloads of ammo with my other ammo.

Are you asking @flying sailor the manufacturer of his .222 rifle? Or asking me the manufacturer of my 22 Hornet? My rifle is a Ruger Model 77/22 22 Hornet.

I have no idea how many of 10's of thousands of rounds of ammunition in various calibers over the 40+ years I have been reloading using CCI primers with no failures, except +1 on a primer getting flipped in the primer plunger. Back in the 70's when i first started reloading i had no faith in...

Edit: my OP, Last line should have read: ....I am now swearing at CCI primers for their unreliability and will be reloading using Winchester primers.

Understandably. Sounds harder and confusing by the directions. Easy once illustrated using diagrams and/or seen being done. It takes longer to write out and read the instructions than actually doing it. Using the short cut makes it a bit easier and quicker. Once you get the mil dots set...

Spent the day and evening yesterday reloading 225 rds of Hornady 165 grain SST of 30-06, 200 rds of Hornady and 30 rds of Woodleigh 500 grain 458WM for the CZ550, 65 rds each of 55 grain FMJ and SP for 22 Hornet. Went through 100 rds setting the DNT scope and 65 rds zeroing a new scope on the...

Not sure when or where I purchased these CCI Small Rifle Primers, so far I have had 21 out of 200 to not go bang. I use to swear by CCI's dependability with 8 days before wheels up for Africa I am now swear at CCI's dependability and reload using Winchester primers.

I guess it is in how they ask what I'm mailing/shipping. I only encountered one FEDEX clerk who half assed tried making an issue of me returning a firearm to the manufacturer for repair. All the paperwork and return label was in order and his boss indicated it was a no brainer for him to process...

Nice bird. Congrats Classic external hammer gun. Love it. IMO, That's hunting with style.

Hope you enjoy your trip and post some photos and details of your trip; a non hunting report.

Welcome to the forum.

It's been my experience, when shipping packages, via USPS, UPS, and FEDEX they all have asked me what am I shipping/mailing and to sign the electronic claimer that I'm not shipping any hazardous items on the poster; ie aresols, chemicals, etc that aren’t allowed to be shipped by air. Declaring...

:unsure::unsure:.....USA employee, working in the USA, for a USA company, trained by the same SAPS that train the SAPS officers at the firearms office at the airports.:ROFLMAO:

And just a week or so ago I received scopes and other firearm related items via UPS.

Chapstick is recommended for any time of year. The summer time it's the heat, sun, and dry air; in the winter time it's the cold, wind, and sometimes dry air.

There are a couple of OPs here on the forum that members have mentioned who they used to film their adventures. IIRC, One member's OP is asking other forum member's about having their hunts videoed.

I agree on one and done with an outfitter /PH setup that limit themselves to a certain area and saying I saw everything here and done. My first trip to Africa was to SOUTH AFRICA and had a great time at KUBUSI SAFARIS in the East Cape. Grahamstown is about 10 minutes from the lodge. James...

Funny...but true for me. I may get 4 to 10 hours of sleep today and not go to sleep for 18 to 36 hours, occasionally 48 hours later.

Welcome to AH.

Using something like this in the same push-pull method as you use in drawing your bow can help.

There are several posts on here about giving tips to your outfitter or PH to handout. Good and Questionable outfitters and PH's. IMO, If you feel comfortable that your outfitter, outfitter/PH, PH will give your tips to the staff members as you have intended, then ok. As the outfitter...

Art is Art and in the eyes of the beholder. I'm not that fond of Euro mounts because Euro mounts don't show the true majesty of an animal, photos don't either. If you have the available space I will suggest at least having your most notable animal(s) shoulder, or wall or floor pedestal mounted...
