Thanks for giving me the opportunity to become a member of Africa Hunting.com. I am looking forward to learn from the experience possessed by members of this site. I wasn't aware of this site until I was searching for some "modern" handloading info for my new 6.5 x 55 Swede Barrett Fieldcraft...found some good info.
Have a good day,
Duane

Hi Duane, welcome to AH !
 
Welcome to AH sir!

Welcome to "THE" Africa forum.
 
Welcome to AH from your neighbor with all the lakes
 
Welcome aboard Orange 1948. I see you have and reload for a 6.5 x 55. If you haven't already take a look at Nathan Foster's Knowledgebase for the 6.5 x 55 Swedish Mauser. The website http://www.ballisticstudies.com/is by far the best I've ever read re this caliber. Nathan has written a number of books on long range hunting rifles, calibers, bullets etc. I have all of them, they are a tremendous resource. He considers the 6.5 x 55 a handloader's dream. After working up to the loads he uses I can see why. As Charlie said, PM me if you want more information.
 
Welcome to AH! Much more information on this site than any man could ever need
 
Welcome aboard

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
