[QUOTE="Locknload, post: 1587911, member: 20333"] Be very careful to provide enough neck tension to hold bullets in place if you have to travel anywhere by plane. By the time I got to South Africa, my luggage and gun cases had been so roughly handled that the thick fiberglass gun case was badly gouged, aluminum cases were holed and the check baggage containing my ammo was very badly battered. This was wonderful Delta’s service. We went to Cape Town, guns and baggage went to Paris. The frogs tossed the stuff out of the plane onto the ramp then ran over them with tugs, tire tracks all over. My 300 WSM ammo in my check baggage would no longer chamber properly, so that an unfired, chambered round, pulled the bullet when the shot passed, and I opened the bolt to clear the rifle, dumping a full cartridge case of powder into the action. End of day’s hunt. Ed [/QUOTE]
