Received a new American Riflenman magazine in the post yesterday and saw it contained an article about the 375 H&H once owned by Finn Aagard. Of course,, I had to read it first. In reading the dairy about this rifle - it seems he recorded every shot ever fired from it - he mentions two shots using "reloads" The author then goes on to state that he must have been firing reloads brought into the country by a client as at the time, reloading in Kenya was a crime punishable by death!
Death for reloading a cartridge - I guess we don't know when we are well off or appreciate what we have.
Any one have any first hand knowledge or further info re this matter? I would surely like to know more.

Not to far away from that.When traveling by airplane,basically one can,t have reloads with them. All ammo has to be in a factory box,so you could put your reloads in the box and whom would know the difference? But,they are saying in essence factory ammo,and no loose ammo as well. They will consficate any thats not in factory boxes. van

oops..
Thought this was about the latest Democrat party initiative in Congress.
If I wait a little while...I imagine they'll get around to it in their second "100 hrs."

IIRC, the danger to others from dangerous game
wounded with 'unproven' ammo - may have been behind such 'law'.

On the other hand, it is still an offence in the UK to dismantle ammunition. Most reloaders do of course to correct errors. Law arose from a perceived necessity to prevent old time terrorists making blast bombs from propellant.

All this from a country where its perfectly legal to spread the AIDS virus like a common cold. Talk about a "problem with priorities".

van, it is not illegal to travel on an airplane w/ handloaded rounds. They only have to be in proper packaging. Some airlines may modify this rule, best to check w/ the individual airline. As far as the Feds go, bring your handloads, I have done it several times.

Fredj338 is right on! I flew to Alaska this past fall. I packed 20 rounds of reloads in a MTM slip top ammo box. No problem with American Airlines,Alaskan Air, or TSA.
Always best to contact the air carrier your are flying with though. They each can make up their own rules, as strict or more strict than TSA regs.

Exactly, the Feds care little about how much ammo you bring or what kind for that matter. The airlines however restricts the weight, where it can be (gun case or other checked baggage, etc.). It's best to go to the airlines website & print a copy of their regs. Take them, along w/ the TSAregs, with you when you check in so the possible antigun twit behind the counter can be kept in check.

If this is true (and I don't know that it is not) it's likely from the governmant trying to restrict (control) the number of rounds of ammo one can have as is the current case in RSA......or to protect a gov't tax on ammo and folks could evade the tax by reloading.....

One needs to know the law.......and hide his press very well!!!

B/S I fly Delta, Alaska,all the time with reloads. They need to be in a box designed for ammo.
