Does Namibia permit the importation of cartridge cases if safari client did not bring a .300H&H with them? George  | |||

No, this is illegal, or so I believe. If someone were going to bring ammo for a rifle they don't have with them the best way to get away with it would be to place it in a factory box that matches the rest of the ammo they are bringing for the rifle they have on their permit. Most likely no one will notice. If they do you can play dumb. Is it worth it? Only you can decide. Maybe kamaatu knows a way to do this legally? I think it would be easier for kamaatu to form his brass from 375H&H brass. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

300 Wby makes pretty good 300 H&H brass also.

Mate, It might be easier to contact Ken Stewart of Stewart bullets in Pietersburg/Polokwane as he'll probably be able to post them to you from here. You can contact him at stewbullets@mweb.co.za | |||

Guys, as far as I know it is not illegal to bring brass into the country, as long as it does not contain primers etc.. After having used my brass now for fie to six times, the first ones are starting to crack and it is about time to exchange them. Had a look for plain ammo the other day and it comes at about 35 N$/ZAR per shot. Steve, I will contact Ken and see what he can do. | |||

Ask Hento at the gun shop or rosenthal- they can get you Norma brass by the bag (comes packed in 50's or 100's.) | |||

To find out the answer to this question, wouldn't it be easier to just ask someone of authority in Namibia the question? Shurly someone here knows the "right" person to contact there for an "official" ruling on the subject once and for all. This would put an end to the the "I think this is right, I hope this is right" answers that are offered up here. Larry Sellers SCI Life Member | |||

It sounds like you need to know how to anneal your cases which would extend there life. Get on 24 hour Campfire and go to "ask the gun writers" and direct your question to Mule Deer/John Barness he has several different methods. He recently wrote an article for Handloader magazine on a method that he developed. | |||

There must be tons of 375h&h brass around the country. It is readily formed to 300H&H. LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR'S SPORT! | |||

375 is the simple answer; unless they have this "thing" about head stamps matching the rifle markings. Rich DRSS | |||
