Safari Bullet Company .458 500gr shot out of a 458 Lott, recovered out of Buffalo. Waiting for feedback from client about weight retention.

Hi Guys. Is there any American Hunters currently in SA that is returning home (USA) that can take two packets of bullets. I need to get a packet of 9.3 and 404 Bullets (not ammo) to Phil Massaro. Rudi

Got some bullets back from clients today. Thought I’d share. .458 Win Mag 450gr @ 2200 fps out of a Giraffe Bull (80m Backup shot) .375 H&H 300gr 2470 fps out of Giraffe Bull 60m .375 H&H 300gr 2500 fps out of Buffalo Bull at 25m

PM inbound Thx

I’ve been looking for a Winchester 94 for ever and battling to find one. (Hens teeth in South Africa) So I settled for its “less refined” South American cousin … I was giving a Rossi 92 in 44-40 as a gift this last week, can’t wait to go warthog and bushpig hunting with it. Now just to find...

I’ve got a 2-8x42 Zeiss with IR on my Winchester M70 416 Rem with QD mounts.

I got some bullets back from hunters that hunted the last two weeks.

Hi Bob For now I’m focusing on 9.3 and bigger and most important caliber that I own. I don’t think the .35 has a big following in SA but definitely something to look at once I start making more commercially.

Got these pics today from a mate that hunted a giraffe this morning. My home made bullets .375 300gr and .458 450gr 375 @ 2500 fps 458 @ 2200 fps

I tested the 416RM this weekend with a new and improved bullet design I made; shooting them into wetpacks. Changed the Ogive and in doing so adding a bit more copper to the nose section. 400gr at 2300 fps. L-R 100m, 75m, 50m, 25m 25m 100m

Received one of my bullets back that was used on Buffalo last week. 375H&H 300gr

Hull makes paper cased fiber wad cartridges.

Just got these pics sent to me from a mate I made 9.3 285gr bullets for. He just came back from a hunt and got a very nice Waterbuck bull. 9.3x62 @ 2280 fps. Shot the bull from the front into the chest from 120m and found the bullet in the stomach.

Shot my 458 Express shooting off hand at 50m open sights. Not my best grouping but not the bullets’ fault. Will take shooting sticks to the range next time. Sticker is 1”

I’ve thought about swaging the point. But swaging dies I going to take a year plus to get from Corbin. Maybe in the future but for now they work and feed just great. What I’ve experienced so far is that with the bigger “meplate” area the entrance wound is bigger and doesn’t close up causing...

Thank you

I do make 9.3 in 285 gr and .458 in 450gr and 500gr This was into wet news paper out of 9.3x62 @ 2350 fps L-R 100m, 75m, 50m, 25m .458 500gr out of wet newspaper 458 express @ 2250 fps L-R 25m, 50m .458 in 500gr and 450gr

Yes, machined the base out of copper rod, then bonded the lead with heat into the nose cavity. And then point formed.

With all the stock shortages world wide and irregular supply I couldn’t get my favorite bullets. So, I started making my own. My design started of as a Aframe x Barnes X. And ended up as a TBBC x Northfork. Bonded lead nose with solid shank driving bands. First for 375 and then went up the...

A mate of mine has a Zeiss with the intergraded rail. He is interested in your scope mount. Pls pm me price and if you’re willing to sell it. Rudi

My culling belt is my go to … Can’t remember who made it.

Depends on where in SA, but usually our winter months (May - Augustus)

This year it’s been fairly hot in the Thabazimbi area, so during our hunt in May we bumbed into Black Mamba and Puffadder in the veld while tracking Zebra.

I have quite a few Hornady DGX And DGS 410 400gr if you’re interested? Where are you situated ?

Brass is fairly easy to make. You can either use 30-06 brass by I prefer using 8x57 brass and fire form them in my rifle. I got my dies from Huntington’s.

Not quite sure if this qualifies for this topic, if not feel free to move or delete. But I’ve started making bullets for big bore rifles. I came up with the design about a year ago while recovering from a hunting injury and couldn’t walk for 10 weeks. I took a bonded nose cavity of a Aframe...

I shoot a very similar design bullet. Which is a 250gr solid copper flat point at 1300 fps. So doubt that these should feel much different.

I got these 180gr HP for my 44 Super Black Hawk from another South African company. (Kriek Bullets) So yesterday I got bored and turned them into a 260gr Bonded Bullet. Will test them into wetpacks this weekend and see how they perform.

Is it just me or is this scope mounted wrong. It’s canted over so that windage will give elevation and visa versa ?

Frederik Curfew is 21:00 - 04:00 (times that you’re not allowed to travel)

Problem is not USPS, the problem is South African Postal Service. Chances are that my parcel will get stole on our side, or take a months to get to me if I’m lucky.

Bolt face is not the same size [emoji848]

Nobody coming to SA ?

Good afternoon all. I have a parcel that needs a lift from the US to South Africa. Currently the parcel is with a family member of mine in Prosper I got a quote from FedEx but shipping is more that the content of the parcel. Anyone coming in to South Africa for a hunt that is willing to bring...

I use them in my 375 H&H. 300gr at 2400 fps Recovered bullet was out of a Zebra. Distance was 120m 300gr @ 100m

Hi ChrisG Cutting Edge makes something similar in a 240gr. Maybe they can make you some heavier ?

I’ve hunted Impala and Warthog using 300gr XTP out of my SBH 7.5” But recently gone over to a 250gr Solid Copper bullet made by a local bullet manufacturer. My idea behind it that I want to be able to shoot straight through Blue Wildebeest so I can have a good blood trail to follow.

Not quite the same. Came out of my Winchester M70 338 Win Mag

I might have one. Will check in the morning and let you know

I would love a 284 Win on a Pre 64 M70 Winchester with a 26” barrel. Either factory original or custom rifle that looks like it came out of the factory. This will probably be my last bolt action rifle.

As for AH members, not quite sure, finding them as I go along of the forum. LOL

Small world. Couldn’t let you guys have all the fun alone.

Ag nee … Daar is die buurt nou ook in sy m..r in [emoji1787]

This morning was 3 degrees Celsius which is freezing for someone that only has a “real” winter 3 months of the year. When my two Labrador retrievers don’t want to go outside for a pee I know it’s cold ... lol

We Hunted the weekend of the 21st May on the border between Freestate and Northern Cape. That Sunday morning while packing up to drive back home was -4 degrees Celsius, and that’s colder than my sub tropical body can handle …. ;-)

Hi Shootist43 I have something called Dedicated Hunter and Dedicated Sport Shooting status. Which allows me to apply for more firearm than the normal public which may only have 4. As for multiple rifles in same caliber, you need to convince the licensing dept that the rifles are for different...

Hi all I’m Rudi from Johannesburg, South Africa. Started hunting at the age of 6 and haven’t stopped yet. Love big bore rifles and own a few currently. Brno 602 in 458 3” Express Winchester M70 in 416 RM Brno 602 in 375 H&H Custom 375 H&H and then plains game rifles. Hope to share some...

Know it’s an old ad, but any chance there is still some left ?
