Hi Guys,

I am in need of some new .458wm brass. anyone coming to Joberg that would be willing to throw in a packet or two of new brass and bring it over to me?

I am willing to negotiate on services rendered..... a beer and perhaps import permits or the like.

Thanks

Gentlemen,

I hate to rain on anyone's day, especially as all of you are being very kind to do this to a deserving man.

But, please check the requiremnts of travelling with components through international airlines and airports.

Things are NOT what they used to be, and I sure don't want to see anyone getting into a hassle for this.

I never even considered that brass would be a problem. Since my rifle is a 470, I'm backing out on my offer. Sorry. The last thing I want is trouble at THAT airport. Thanks for the eye opener. This is why this site is so valuable.

Good Hunting,

After Saeed posted, I got to thinking I am going to RSA to hunt and not see the inside of a jail cell. I'm sorry but I'll need to respectfulle decline my previous offer.

I wish you luck getting some brass.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the offers. 7kongoni, graybird and tim vining! Tim Herald i will definately be in touch.

Saeed is correct re procedures, etc, though i stand to be corrected: if you are traveling with decomissioned ammunition, etc, and like in this case if the ammo has no primer in it then there will not be a problem - i would just a bag of the brass in the bottom of my tuffpack. in January i brought back 15 boxes with Barnes tips and a bag of brass without any issues and i was not traveling with firearms from the US, TSA even checked and let it go on without any issues.

Tim Herald,
I have 80 rounds of new, unprimed 458wm brass to donate if you are willing to pack it over there. Send me your shipping address and I'll get it to you. Thanks for coming thru.

Good Hunting,

Just curious if anyone has checked with TSA, the airline they are using and SAPS in RSA about this lately? Seems this would clear up any issues and would dictate whether one would/could help .458 Aubs out? A letter from SAPS would go a long way in taking the uneasy feelings out of this venture.

I wouldn't recommend my clients do this unless they had the empty brass officially documented and declared with the airlines and customs in each country I would be entering. It only takes one ignorant official somewhere along your route to ruin your safari.

hi all thanks for all the help and concern, brass and ammo is available but ammo at extremely high prices and well brass is another story all together.

but that being said i am seeing a couple of high ranking SAPS official and will ask them for a letter re it, lets see what they say. i will also ask a legal begal who knows his way around RSA firearm laws, etc.

Thanks once again

Personally, I would avoid taking ANY ammo or components into any African country if it is not for the rifle I am taking.

There are far too many variables here, and for the sake of saving some money, it is not worth the risk.

I like AR readers. Mostly good attitudes and helpfull. I have brought ammo that did not match my rifles, but I did have the PH include a request for it in a letter if invitation. It worked in SA and Zim. Tom
Thanks
