Apologies for poor lighting. Load shedding at the moment

My wife regularly uses "brandnetels" in soup. Apparently it has medicinal qualities as well.

What is your thoughts about "takbok" (Fallow deer?)

Nothing wrong with a 243. Most organized gong shoots nowadays do not disclose the distance of the gongs. Up to 500m a 243 would probable serve an inexperienced shooter just as well or better than a 6.5 CM due to its flatter trajectory. (and the shooters inability to guess the distance correctly) From 500-1000 m, I would say 6.5CM with a good scope. This is where the expensive part comes in. Remember that the rifle is normally less than half your budget. Prepare to spend at least R30k for a start. Further than 1000m I would say 338 LM or 375 Cheytac.

All this GSD pictures inspired me to get off my bum and post a few pictures of my GSD's Meet Kanzo

I bought one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Emerson-8-5-22cm-Suppressor-Mirage-Heat-Cover-Shield-Sleeve-Muffler-Multicam/302260819872?epid=15007856525&hash=item46602617a0:g:CrEAAOSwYXVY01ax

Works good enough. Do Batches of 30 for 30-06 and 40 for 6.5 Creedmoor.

Had the same brainwave. Not worth the effort. Buy this instead: https://www.capewatch.co.za/product/mini-tumbler/ R1.3k for a wet tumbler that can do 30 cases at a time versus R5-6K for traditional wet tumbler that can do 100 cases at a time.

I would suggest https://www.gunafrica.co.za/classifieds.html or https://www.jaracal.com/viewforum.php?f=19 Jaracal is members only, but a lot of the ads is members advertising for a friend and giving the friends contact details.

Bought it at Kloppers in George. Its manufactured by MDT, but marketed under its own brand as a budget option. African Outdoors Sports (RSA agents) imported 50 units that flew off the shelves. Not sure when there will be stock again in RSA however.

Are you sure about the 5 year renewal? I got my Creedmoors licence under section 16. Did the Chasa course for dedicated hunter. Just checked, my licence is valid for 10 years. Same as the hunting rifles under section 15

A classic indeed. A mate of mine has one too and its accuracy and stopping power is legendary. Only reason I did not go the 300 H&H, 300 Winmag or 300 WSM route is because I already have a 30-06 hunting rifle and I wanted something with less recoil for paper and gongs that my daughter can also use.(I know, I shamelessly used a kid to help motivate this one )
