    Bringing parts from USA to SA

    Like others mentioned, ITAR compliance is what you should be aware of. It's not a piece of cake going through it, but it's manageable. I recommend getting a consultant to let you know how to do it. Here's one: https://corporateinvestigation.com/import-export/

    The "strange" IMR powders in my country...

    Hi everyone!! I don't know if it happens everywhere, or only in my country, but here an importer brought powders which he packaged in their own containers and labeled them as "IMR", 3031, 4350, 4064... The same thing happened years ago, the powders degraded, this time they seem to be in good...

    I prefer a light 150 gn 3006 over a 130 gn .270 bullet... But, If we all prefer the same, the life turs very boring!!!

    Controlled round feed for Dangerous Game

    Sorry about to write so late, but... The only real advantage of the controlled feeding over the push feeding, are for the handloaders, in the integrity of the case rim, not more than this If you feed slowly, every system might to be feeding problems!... Loading faster, the push feed are more...

    Bob Nelson I sold my .243!

    It´s seem to be simply a feeling.... In facts, the 270 performance with 130 gn bullets, are great! But a 3006 with lighter bullets of 150 gns, are very much powerful! The rest, are only a sensation, not more than this
  26. Marcos Rodriguez

    Bob Nelson I sold my .243!

    Cris, there is the old and typical discussion about "mass vs speed"... The 308 are mostly used with 150 gn... but, the best performance HUNTING are with 180 ... If you shoot an animal with a 180 bullet at 2500 fps... he don´t understand which caliber you use hahaha I might the advantage of the...

    What Have You Killed with Your .308 Winchester?

    243!!! 270!!! Great shots to kill rabbits!!! hahahaha I have two kids, If I had had a daughter, I probably would have thought of one of those calibers. But my kids loves the 308 and the 3030, and the younger push me up to aown a 9.3x62... so.. no place to little bullets! hahaha

    What Have You Killed with Your .308 Winchester?

    Longwalker, we think the same!!! Here, we have an equal to the .303 british, in the "7,65 argentine mauser" cartridge, a trusty old shot, very used in all the 20 century... but, the 308 is a little better, for shure! I tryed several cartridges too, and back to the 308...
  34. Marcos Rodriguez

    What Have You Killed with Your .308 Winchester?

    The same thing we can says about the 3006... It´s very polpular because the cartridge are extensily used by the US army... In fact, no regrets about any of both them, there are great shots, bu I prefer the 308 win and, at this time, at my 52 years old... as long as the 308win doesn't let me down...

    What Have You Killed with Your .308 Winchester?

    .308win? Well, I kill everything I shot with this round!... I have only a .308 to hunt and never think "wow, I should use other caliber, the 308 falls short!" Mostly wild boars, but also red deer, guanacos, pumas, a couple of big feral bagual bulls (800 kgs) ande all kind of medium game...

    Cast bullets & African game?
