[QUOTE="joep17, post: 1407074, member: 1457"] And don't forget the 7 Rem Mag would work well and give you way more options for brass and in a pinch factory ammo. I never thought about another issue until I went to Africa and had my 375HH ammo seized by Namibia customs agent who could not speak English so I never knew why. After I got home, I thought maybe if I offered to buy it back from him, all parties would have been happy? Being able to buy ammo there saved the hunt. If it would have been an obscure wildcat or an uncommon cartridge in that part of the word, I would have had to borrow the piece of junk spare rifle the PH kept on hand for situations like this. If your plans include travel, keep this in mind. If you hunt locally, I would pick the weirdest and wildest thing I could find and spend lots of time enjoying the satisfaction of developing your own unique load. As far as smiths go, pick one with a great reputation and pay him a fair price. I had a bad smith ruin 2 actions for me...but I did pay him a low price to do it Good luck with your project and enjoy it. Gun folks like us get more enjoyment on a project than any amount spent.
