I need to try and purchase some FFG powder and # 2 and # 11 primers in South Africa on behalf of one of my clients coming over in June for his elephant hunt, can anyone steer me in the right direction.
Regards and thanks in advance

shakariMartin,
You might have to settle for BP substitute but try the nearest SA gun shop to you and ask if they stock it or can order it for you.
If no, call The Gunn Shoppe in Nelspruit at (+27) (0)13 755 2600 who might be able to send it to you or to the nearest SA gunshop to you.
I'm not sure what the story is for export from SA and import to Zim though.
If you battle to get through, either email me at shakari3@mweb.co.za or call me on (+27) (0)832777114 because they're only about a half hour drive from me.

boltshooterMartin,
Upon viewing your recent posts I noticed you were looking for recommendations for a meet & greet service for your clients.
If they are using Air 2000/Hunters Support they might be able to purchase the black powder & caps for your clients.

martin pietersThanks Don, not sure if the powder will be OK, how have you stored it? I need the primers, how can I get hold of them?
Thanks Bill.........
