Bringing Wildcat Ammo to SA

[Idaho Joe]

I have an upcoming handgun hunt for plains game booked in SA and want to bring my TC Contender pistol chambered in .309 JDJ. Problem is, .309 headstamped brass is more rare than an honest politician. As I understand it the headstamp on the ammo is supposed to match the barrel markings on the firearm it is intended for.

Is there a special permit that can be acquired to bypass this for essentially wildcat rounds?
Thanks.

check with Henry at Rifle Permits and see what he says, that said I have never had my ammo looked at in SA

First no to your question about a special permit. Second, SA rarely checks ammo head-stamps. They only care about your gun serial numbers matching your license. Don’t even think about doing this in Zim or Moz. They will confiscate your ammo.
