Thanx for the info so far. I will try and keep to the same weight of bullets and just shooter cheaper bullets at paper. The ideal would be to shoot SST at paper and Interbonds at game due to the same BC.

Hallo to all, My wife bought me a Remington 700 SF 308 Win for my 30th b-day (yes I have an awesome wife). The barrel is 26 inch and 1:12 twist. I want to use the rifle for bush hunting - kudu, blue-wildebeest etc (distance up to 400 yards). But I also want to use the rifle for target...

Hey Guys, Brother in-law wants to purchase a Winchester Defender Pump Action 12 ga. I have a Winchester myself which has only given me problems thus I am not going to objective in my opinion.:rolleyes: He wants to use it for hunting and home defense. Any comments will be appreciated.

Well put!! Or I can place an order with an importer of a minimum of 10 000 cases at $1.5 per case. Our government has and import tax of 50%.

Hi, I need to buy brass for my 264 Win Mag and the only brass available at the moment in South Africa is Remington. Is it any good in terms of weight and life span? Any comments welcome.

At what speed are you sending them out?

I still love my Sako Finnbear 264 Win Mag which was handed down to me by my grandfather.

Thanx for all the messages! I think I will go with a Broughton which is readily available in South Africa. :D

I think they will rethink the strategy next time!!:D

Hello I have a 264 Win Mag and do my own reloading. I recently saw a video by ammo smith on how to make your won AOL gauge. The method described was to insert a bullet a fraction into a case and then push the case and bullet into the chamber. The lands will then exert pressure on the...

I am from South Africa and the predominant scopes which you find and can actually get some after sales support is Leupold, Nikon, Zeis, Burris, Redfield, Tasco and Lynx which is a locally manufactured brand.

I recently bought a 22-250 Savage. I want to use the rifle for varmint shooting and antelope hunting but nothing past 200 yards. The rifle will also be used to younger kids gun safety. What scope do you guys recommend that will not cost an arm and a leg. :rolleyes: Thanx in advance.

Good looking gemsbok there with nice thick bases! Congrats

The bullets do perform well in terms of accuracy but there is some meat damage especially if you hit large bones. We hunt a lot of warthogs and bush pigs in SA and the bullets have served me very well.
