Any thoughts or info on why it is currently very difficult to purchase large rifle primers, while most others seem more readily available?

ifb-munition.com Does anyone know if this company's ammunition is available in the United States. I have emailed the company but no response to date. Their online catalog shows some rather exotic loadings including the 600 & 700 Nitro.

Offered for sale is a matched pair of limbs for the Hoyt Buffalo riser. These are "formula" limbs so may fit other risers as well. These are "short" and weighted at 50# They are in like new condition and have never been hunted or otherwise in the woods. Priced at $375 including shipping...

It is time for me to starting "culling the herd" a bit. This rifle was built to my specs by Hollie Wessel through The Gun Emporium of Springfield, Oregon. The word "perfect" is often over-used, but I can say without reservation that this magnificent muzzle loading rifle is just that...

As new with box - never sharpened. $200 shipped CONUS.

I decided to sell my guns and buy a Corvette Roadster!

For PR and PC reasons, I think in the future (and in keeping with the bounds of this website) that so-called "assault rifles," e.g. ARs and AKs, should henceforth be referred to as "dangerous game rifles." Reason: in the immortal words of Ernest Hemingway: "There is no hunting like the hunting...

I realize in advance that this is probably the wrong place to ask - that said; anyone have load date for the .510 Whisper?

I will be taking my 1914 vintage Westley Richards 470 double to Africa in 2023 for a buff hunt. I plan on taking my own loads. I have a good supply of Hornady 500 gr DGX bullets which should get the job done just fine. However, I probably should load some full solids as well. I don't want to...

I just read on the TSA website that ammunition can be carried in the same locked case as the firearm for which the ammo is intended so long as the ammo is packed in approved boxes, cases, etc. Thought ammo had to be packed and shipped separately?

It seems increasingly difficult to find modern factory ammunition for many of the classic British double rifle cartridges, e.g., 450/400, 450 NE, 470, 500 NE, etc. Of course, awhile back there were crazy runs on .22LR, 9mm, .223, etc., but this a different situation. Are Hornady, Norma and...

Just checking around on the normal internet sites for airfares to Africa, I find that business class tickets to Johannesburg run nearly half of what such flights are to the other major east African cities. Used this September for dating and SeaTac for the round trip. Like 3500 USD or so vs...

WTB some decent 300 H&H brass at a fair price. Seems all the normal sources are "out of stock." Wonder how some of these companies stay in business, Midway being a good example

It seems that hopefully this Covid mess is slowly easing. Consequently, if we can get to the point with no airline mask requirements, I will seriously consider one last African hunt (been twice, and am smiling at 76). Only want a couple of buff. All that said, here's my thread discussion. I...
