Both times I’ve been I went through Frankfurt. It’s easy to get guns through from Germany to Namibia as well. It’s about 26 hours travel if you time it well, and both flights are much easier than the 14 hours to Jberg if you buy the cheap seats like I do . The last trip I actually planned a...

I’ve killed 3 zebra, 2 oryx, blue wildebeest, and impala with the 130 gr CEB Raptor from a .300 wsm. Shock and trauma were excellent but penetration was definitely lacking on the zebra. [

I have a Gentry and I think it was worth the money

I’ll second that opinion. Brian will take good care of you.

this is true. If you call ahead they will add “firearm” to your booking and it will not require the fee UNLESS you exceed the standard baggage weight/size limit, or your number of free checked bags. You will not be able to check in on the app once “firearm” is on your booking. Also, be sure to...

Sights came out great

Those are factory spacers

I know the safari is epoxy bed. I’m sure the Alaskan at least has the lug epoxy bed

Well my crate is finally ready for pickup in Dallas and I’m glad this process is done. The initial outrageous quote was from Pronto Global, who I’ve debated on naming as the individual who I communicated with made none of these decisions. I contacted Pronto and told them I would not pay, and...

Nosler shows the top accuracy for all their tested powders under 250gr bullets as 55.0gr (max) of Varget. My Hornady manual does not list Varget in their data, and I’ve never shot the 250 rn, but they recommend a seating depth of 3.290 to the middle of the cannelure. Hodgdon has load data for...

A great place to start would be 50 gr of Varget and work your way up. Use Noslers load data for the 250 partition. I’m sure one of our fine forum members from the southern hemisphere will come charging in with a plethora of good information soon enough.

I’ve got a brown 1” pre fit pad for Ruger m77 II rifles and an extended modified Mobilchoke that need new homes

I will happily take those if you do

https://www.stockysstocks.com/winchester-70-post-64-one-piece-custom-drop-in-triggerguard-hinged-floorplate-upgrade-traditional-steel-aluminum.html In stock in stainless for $206. It’s a PTG made part

Very interesting, thanks for the reply. I wonder at what charge weight that really starts to matter at. Probably would be bad in a large volume case that isn’t densely charged. I have had no issues in an H&H case, but that isn’t high volume and the “safety” is certainly anecdotal evidence

Correct. They are used to size brass in two steps instead of one, which allows less stress to the case when forming a new cartridge and more accurate final dimensions. That is why the dies are so short. They make a similar set for sizing .416 Taylor from .458 win mag. My guess is that 7x61 is...

Yes! It’s basically just a CCI 250 with a slightly thicker cup. Works well in .375. Can’t tell you much after that as I still have Fed 215s but I would say if you’d use a 250 in a load, then the 34 will be fine.

The dies are an intermediate step to form 7x61 from .300 H&H brass.

My story is similar to others mentioned- I sent in an old vari-xIII from the early 90s with a smashed objective bell (still worked) with a note requesting a price to repair the damage. I had the scope back in 10 days and they replaced the bell and threaded it for modern lens covers, cleaned all...

Outstanding

Can’t help with the Nyala, but if you want a great hunt on the border of Etosha National Park with lots a family activities and good hunting, QHS Namibia is a great option. Travel to Victoria Falls is not difficult, and getting into Namibia is easy and simple...

These are outstanding https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081DGR5QY/

I won’t get into the burn rate discussion but I’d be concerned with piercing the cup as they are pretty soft in comparison

What did you ship?

I would love to know your crate dimensions if you come across that info

To make a long story short (and leave out parties involved), I have a shipment from last year that is finally ready to go. I went through and ordeal with this one, and the only reason it is now ready to ship is that I made a second trip this year and my PH helped me make some in person visits to...

I was there last month and it was still in stores

Hey Steven. I think this company will check all your boxes. Main property is about 120k acres and is a few minutes from Etosha National Park. Brian has some great packages for 23/24 that I can show you as well. https://www.qualityhuntingsafarisnamibia.com/

If you are willing to go the “tactical” route, both of these are strong performers. I use them in hot weather often. They 5.11 are the best I’ve used for dexterity. They are sheepskin but are a little bit sticky/grippy feeling. The magpul is also very good for dexterity, and do even better in...

We did

I’d be happy to share my load data, and other particulars with you. I took zebra, oryx, kudu, and hartebeest last year with 165gr ttsx so I have some good comparisons, and maybe another suggestion or two to consider.

It will be along shortly

Thanks FWB, too bad we didn’t cross paths over there. I think we had some overlap. Looks like you had a great adventure. Brian had a plan to get us to camp Zebra last year, but it didn’t end up fitting into the timetable we had.

Many of you may relate to the way my African hunting story begins. What commenced as more of a "pipe-dream" quickly materialized into an actual plan to hunt Namibia in 2022. I convinced my wife that going to Africa with 3 months to plan was a good idea. She decided to come along, we had an...

Awesome wall! How bad was shipping on that crate?

I would recommend the Frankfurt route. I can assist you with the Frankfurt transit application if you like

Thanks! If this changes caliber at all it will most certainly be a .416T. I already have a barrel picked out. The barrel channel will require minimal modification as the factory barrel is pretty heavy. I’m well set up for handloading and already have a brass supplier (for now).

This company will build nice cases out of your hide for a modest price https://www.whittenguncases.com/customizations

I keep forgetting about this thread, but here’s the stock. I kept it simple to preserve the original look.

I have a purpose built AR-10 for hogs, but it lacks soul and I find myself going back to my trusty Ruger Hawkeye compact in .300 RCM more often.
