Greetings everyone. New to the forum and decided to join after researching BP hunting in Africa. Was just in SA from May 2 through the 9th. Had taken my flintlocks but the obatex wouldn't work and am planning a return trip to redeem myself with blackpowder guns

Welcome to AH! What's an "obatex"?
Obatex is one of the two "black" powders made and readily available in South Africa. Obatex is a very powerful substitute and ZAR is more of a true black
RHambley, welcome to the forum! It sounds like you have a fun plan for your next Africa adventure! Best of luck!

Welcome.
How about a hunt report giving us the details of getting your BP rifle and accessories into RSA and squirting / purchasing black powder in RSA.

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!
