Hello from Georgia

Welcome to AH
 
Welcome to AH! Your gateway to paradise (or hell if you start buying .375 and up rifles!). Have fun!
 
Just joined after lurking for a while and found a ton of good information. I've never been to Africa but so far Namibia seems like the place for me!

Lifelong hunter (in my 40's now), dad had me shooting, hunting, and even handloading (I was an unusually conscientious child) at a young age.

Live in west GA, (Polk co.), and finally at a point in my life I can afford to own a little bit of my own property to hunt and fish on.

I realized I have several less common/obsolete rimmed cartridges that I most often take into the field, hence the username (I'm not a drummer!)

Looking forward to contributing whatever I have learned so far!
Welcome to the posting side.

I've been tempted by a few big bores lately!

I think my Ruger #1 in 9.3x74R will be my perfect PG companion though. I bought it on a whim when CDNN was blowing them out for $600. After a little fore end and safety switch modification, it drives tacks and flings empties clear of the rifle. I must now go to Africa so I can use it properly!
 
Giday and welcome to the AH forums Rimshot.

Nice! But, it won’t stop there, trust me. The enablers here will cajole you into a .375 and it won’t stop until your into a .45 something . There’s guys on here with Ruger #1s that can’t remember what a .375 is! Get out now while you can! Or not! The choice is yours grasshopper? Ha! Ha! Ha!

Hello neighbor! If you're a reloader, I bet we both have stuff we don't use much that we could trade in these times of scarcity!

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
