    Lead Sled Experiences

    As I approach 70 years of age, I find myself becoming more and more sensitive to recoil. Even the moderate calibers like the 7-08 beat on me to the point where range sessions these days are limited to about a dozen shots. I have noticed some folks using the Caldwell Lead Sled device with good...

Plus, it does not lay flat so I am constantly tripping over it. Question: is there anything I can do about these problems now that I have the rug home here...

    Medical Insurance while hunting?

    I just heard from my Medicare Advantage insurer that the only coverage my policy helps with would be Emergency Room charges only. Everything else is out-of-pocket to me. Gulp. Does anyone sell med coverage while I am there hunting? About 10 days. What say you? Thanks...

    Another paperwork question?

    I saw on another site that a hunter headed to the RSA carried all his paperwork in a 3 ring binder. That makes sense to an anal guy like me. Question: do you folks think that punching 3 holes into my 520 form will become problematic when I land in the RSA? What say you? Thanks...

    Handloads to South Africa?

    As my hunt approaches I am concerned that I do this right. I would like to hunt with my own 30-06 handloads and was wondering if there exsists any special requirements for bringing them into the RSA? Right now I have no boxes for them and was wondering if plastic would suffice? What say you...

    Safari # 2 needs more hunters

    Well, I am returning to South Africa's Limpopo district for my second plains game hunt. My first was in May of 2011. I hunted with Louis van Bergen of Spiral Horn Safaris. In my opinion it was a wildly successful hunt. Louis found me a gemsbok, blue wildebeest, nyala, impala and a huge...

    Safari truck gun care?

    Last year I went to the RSA on a 7 day plains game safari and because of physical limitations, most of that was done from the back of a safari truck. While that safari was wildly successful I did not use my own rifles. I used the PH's 7x57 and I noticed that this rifle to a hell of a beating...

    Hunting ear protection?

    I went to the Republic of South Africa last May on a plains game hunt where I took 5 animals. My plan was to use hearing protection while shooting. To that end I wore some ear plugs around my neck while hunting and did not use them for one animal. As a result my hearing is just now returning to...

    Partition lack of love?

    Used to be the Nosler Partition was near the top of the heap for designer bullets. Slowly, I hear them suggested less and less for big game hunting. For awhile you would read reports about Partitions losing their front portion and not penetrating as well as in the old days. Now it’s all about...

    I have an excellent SKB double rifle case with 4 locking latches. I have heard that to fly with my rifles to RSA on Delta that I will need to lock that case with padlocks.
