Uncle Hein, good seeing you here!

The .204's been given to my girlfriend. I Switched to the 6mm Dasher (flavour of the month thing I suppose...)

Went out last night and killed 3 jackal.

117 since January.

Myself, G-Force, my dad, my girlfriend and another friend had to go sort out a couple of excess blesbuck rams and warthogs on a friend's property. Lila was up first with her .204, and managed to deliver excellent high neck shots angling into the brains of these two rams. First one at 176m, and the s...

Not a bad way to spend a Sunday. We culled a couple of warthogs on a friend's property. All but one was shot with my .204 with 40gr V-Max. The other one was shot with a .17HMR using 20gr Winchester HP's. Shots ranged from 50m to about 300m. https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t1.0-9/1032037...

We use Lightforce 170 Riflemount lights fitted with rheostats. Works like a charm!

Killed 2 jackal last night at around 300y with this system.

+1 Warthog
Visited a friends place this weekend. He asked me to kill this warthog for staff rations.

32gr V-Max from my .204Ruger in the ear. Pig was D.R.T.

Geno wrote:50lb baboon, and a +-130ld European boar. Baboon at 220yd, and the boar at around 80yd. Both D.R.T.

A couple of 190lb Blesbuck
Some 150lb+ Impala
A 100lb Warthog
A 180lb Bushpig
A couple of 100lb springbuck

Thanks Glen. You seem like the only guy interested in animals hunted in South Africa (Judging by the lack of response). This past weekend delivered 2 jackal, and a bushpig. All were killed with my .204 https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1069933_204737626351579_1361979241_n.jpg Ol...

Hey Guys, So this past saturday, we went to a friend's property to look for a springbuck to shoot for my girlfriend. She was very keen, as this would be her first kill with the bow. She got a shot at one, but she was string jumped. Earlier the day, the property owner asked if we could also cull all ...

Thanks guys,
I will be making use of csand's offer.

Thanks guys. Graydog, This is it: http://www.hornady.com/store/Zip-Spindle-Kit-17-20-Cal-1-Each/ Billk, Hornady won't ship to South Africa. Maybe they think we are terrorists armed with varmint guns. :lol: Csand, There are no Hornady dies for .204 Ruger in South Africa, so it would be a huge issue. ...

Hi Guys,
I broke the Zip spindle on my Hornady .204 dies.
There are no stock in South Africa.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction, to get one of these please?

Thanks,
Eugene

This past weekend G-Force and myself and some other lads went looking for some jackal. This particular farm is notorius for excessive jackal over population. (Killed 44 in 3 nights so far) We only managed four jackal for various reasons (missed shots and rain/cold front/mist). The first one fell to ...

Can you ship to South Africa?

So the week came and went and now we are back at work again :( Prieska 2013 was good and quite a few animals were sent to greener pastures. The area is in what is known as "The Karoo", and it resembles New Mexico. Rifles used varied: My 6mm Dasher on fireforming loads with 75gr V-Max runni...
