375 Ackley Improved - can I take it to Africa?

[Captain Jack]

I have an opportunity to pick up an absolutely beautiful Dale Goens custom pre-64 in .375 H&H Improved. I'm only really interested in the rifle if I'm able to take it to Africa and hunt with it as intended. Will South African customs have an issue with headstamped "375 H&H" brass that's been fire formed? Or would I need to find some correctly headstamped brass to make it legal?

Do you have a coin to toss up into the air?

In two trips my ammo has never been inspected. It was only weighted once and that was on a return trip with Qatar.

To get a better answer send a email off to Henry at Rifle Permits .com. I'm sure that if it has happened he has seen it.

On my June trip, I took a .280 AI rifle that was marked .280 Remington and .280 Imp. It had been converted somewhere along the way before I bought it.

Henry at Riflepermits told me to list it as .280 on my permit paperwork. I had both .280 Rem and .280 AI ammo with me.

SAPS only wanted to check the serial number of the rifle.

In nine trips to Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe no one looked at the stamp on the brass

Not an issue just specify as 375 H&H.....they have no clue what AI is......keep it simole

Copy all. Thank you for the advice, folks.

Guess I'm buying another rifle today...
