The nothing else in the Tufpack is a RSA rule, no one has said anything to me about having clothes in it in Joburg. 11 pounds ammo is for all ammo, TSA locks on the ammo. And yes yo May have to check it in separate to fly Airlink thou it hit and miss.

I have 2 375 H&h’s 2 416 Rigby’S and 1 375 Ruger ihave used theH&H and Rigby’s in Africa. I haven’t taken the Ruger because of ammo availability, I can’t find it in Northern Alberta so I’m not taking it to Africa. Both thei375 and 416 will do the job, but the 416 takes a bit more practice to...

I just had one built, I’ve been doing a little load development but haven’t done much. I do have a load with Sierra 250 gr shooting 3/4 inch groups but haven’t cronagraphed it yet. My one club has been shut down since May.

I had a $1000 watch go missing from a bin going through security at the Calgary airpor, so even the TSA agents .are thieves found out later it happens often.

I have the same rifle and use Woodliegh bullet, solids and soft shoot at the same point of impact, so when I went Elephant hunting I took 15 solids and 25 soft.

No mortgage no vehicle payments no credit card debt, more money in the bank, then I could spend in the foreseeable future. Making good money on investments due to some good decision. I’ve went 12 times.

In northern Alberta factory ammo for dangerous game is hard to find, most of my rifles have never had factory ammo shot through them. I’ve taken Elephant, Cape Buffalo and Hippopotamus all with reloaded ammo never had a problem. Just be diligent in your hand loading practice.

A lot of US banks have a hard time with wire transfer, I have a sister in Washington state that needs money every once in a while, her bank can’t give her the information to her for doing a wire transfer even when i emailed a copy of all the information I needed. They keep giving her Western...

Snow in Sedona on Thursday

They do runs every once in a while. Took me a couple of years to find some

When I first got my Taylor bought CH dies and just necked down 458 Win brass worked well, I’ve since Quility Cartridge Brass with the proper head stampl

Norma brass, I’ve shot over 30 plains game including Eland with a 250 grain Accubond

Contact Dale at Talon Distributing in Edmonton I’ve used him to import for years and he maybe able to direct you in the right direction.

It minus 34 celius here now will minus 40 tonight first cold weather this year, not much snow. The Farmers are going to be hurting this year. And the wildfires will be bad if we don’t get any moisture.

Spray your boot, socks and pants with permethrin it last 4-6 washes and seemed to work for me.

Good of you and Bob your dad will love it, I’ve just turned 71 and last year I did my 14th Safari in Africa.

I totally agree the Bertram brass I bought I had to trim some .100 inches to get them all even. I had case Failure on some on the first load. I had some Jamison 404 Jeffery that I trimmed and did the rebated rim, I then did a test first failure was on the 10 th firing. I paid $4.50 Canadian for...

I’ve shot an Elephant 2 Cape Buffalo and a Giraffe with my Merkel in 470, all with Woodliegh bullets

I have had travel insurance for years, never used it but came close. Also had Global Rescue on top of it, but I recently changed to AMA insurance here in Canada and they cover everything

I’ve used Accubonds with great success in Africa, if you really want the brand of bullets that you state either Prophet River or I-runguns will import them for you if you can find someone willing to sell them to you and work with you, it does take a while to get them thoug, I’ve used Prophet...

sad state of affairs when this needs to be posted in a toilet in a national park.

Quality Cartridge made a run of 425 WR a few years ago I bought a couple hundred as I found the Bertram brass horrible. Also you can make it from 404 Jeffrey, which I also did. My rifle is a Montana 99 factory made.

I’ve done 3 high fenced hunts in Texas, i lucked out and they were big places. First thing to do is establish how you want to hunt ei spot and stalk. My first hunt i had a young guide and we walked our butts off and were successful, very enjoyable. Second was with the same outfit and was a lot...

Baker Lake is the geographic Center of Canada I have fun with that fact when people tell me they live in northern Canada. I lived in the Yukon and it still was southern Canada, but not my many miles.

I’ve got a Cheetah and a Leopard and that’s about all I wanted in the way of cats. The. Cheetah was a old animal that walked in when we where looking for Jackals, the Leopard was on my fourth try.

CZ made the 550 on 404 Jeffery I used mine on Hippo a few years ago, Hornady made a run of cases so I bought enough to last, paired with Woodliegh bullets it works.

I will miss him stared listening to him about 1975, saw him in concert many times. What a true entertainer never a bad show and was much loved. Rest in peace.

I just got a shipment through Toronto a month ago, I live in Alberta and was a little worried, but I’ve use Talon Distributing for years now and it only took 1 day to clear. But I had a similar problem with my first shipment for Africa, shipped to Edmonton and Dale took care of it quickly. It...

If you can source a LH action, I would have one built in 404 Jeffery or a 458 lot. Depending on how fancy you want you could do it for under your price. I just had a 375 Whelen AI built on a Enfield action I bought for $100, with a Boyds stock, Pacnor barre, Timeny trigger and Cerecoated for a...

Either I figured out 50 years ago how not to short stroke a bolt action.

I make my brass out of 300 WM, but as you live in RSA with that silly law of barrel stamp and case stamp, it my not work for you.

I did load it up a bit but stayed below my recoil threshold., but I do shoot a 505 Gibbs so my threshold is up there.

The NE cartridges are wide and long compared to the existing lever action cartridge. The action would be very unwieldy and a very long throw on it. Just not practical.

Anywhere from 22-24 inches depending on the balance of the rifle and hunting condition. A well balanced rifle deters felt recoil better then a front heavy rifle.

I’ve never taken factory ammo to Africa, or on any hunt to be truthful . I’ve been reloading for 52 years and shoot a lot of oddball old rifles and many wildcats.

I took a 300 H&H to Namibia and the officer just looked at my form, then asked what does the H&H stand for. All he really was interested in was the 300. The other rifle was a 9.3x66/370 Sako. He asked why 2 names I told him one is American the other European his comment was they make things to...

I’m in Canada and just flew both ways through Frankfurt, it was a cluster they’ve changed the airport with Reno’s and no one seemed to know how you’re supposed get to my gate. The other thing they claim you need a permit in Frankfurt, it used to be if you transferred your firearms to your final...
