Fellow AH-er, master gunsmith and master machinist FlyingSailor dropped by for the week to help me get my workshop properly set up. I’m learning a ton as we go. Today I learned how to hurt real bad and how to move 3/4 ton of iron.

Tomorrow we’re leveling machines and tramming mill tables. Then a blizzard with stay-in day drinking, then we’re going to visit AH’ers around the region.

Super fun! A buddy with mills and lathes is very handy to have, I have one who has shortened driveshafts, modified alternator pulley’s, and even trimmed the crooked end off of a 357 magnum seat die.

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!
