GS Custom Torpedos Arrive

20 September 2001, 04:11

Only took 3 1/2 weeks!

It just tickles me how my wife describes things sometimes. I had her open the box while I was on the phone and her first words were, "these are amazingly different from your other bullets, they are grey, with a elongated pointy front, it has a hole in the tip (!) and there are these rings on them that look like the machine didn't finish them". I love that woman! That whole thing was said with wonder in her voice. The idea that I would order something from Africa!
You should have heard her when she saw the receipt though, "341 BUCKS"! Completely different tone. I quickly told her that the exchange rate was in our favor, it came to about $41 U.S. a moment of silence then she laughed, phew, disaster avoided.
I wish I were in Bethel so I could get some reloaded, I will definitely do that during Thanksgiving break. Thanks Gerard for helping to bring my wife around to the idea that it is OK to have more than one kind of bullet for a cartridge.

Ive been shooting them this week and they sure are super accurate and I can load them considerably hotter than other loads and get a bunch more velocity..????

Jordan,
When someone talks about Mr. Schultz, I look around to see who they are addressing. We are an easygoing bunch over here and it is much more comfortable on first names. The website address has changed to http://gscustom.co.za although the old one will still work till the end of November or so.
Regards
Gerard

Gerard,

There was a post on the African Hunting board claiming that RSA postal service would no longer connect to the USA postal service due to the recent troubles. Have you heard any such tales or run into (more than the usual) problems?
