I have a question for those that are experienced in hunting Africa, South Africa in particular. I am scheduled for a plains game hunt in July. My question is: has anyone had trouble with using handloaded ammo?? I will be flying in to Johannesburg. I have heard stories of people having trouble getting through customs with reloads, but don't have any real evidence. I have talked personally with a few hunters that have experience hunting Africa, and they all say, No problem.
Growing up in Idaho I have been a hand loader since I started hunting, and to this date have taken 1 mule deer, and 1 whitetail deer with factory loads. Everything else, deer, elk, moose, black bear, have fallen to my handloads so I have no doubts in my abilities there.
I am asking for REAL experience. Has anyone PERSONALLY had trouble going through customs in Africa with hand loaded ammo??
Thanks in advance, your help is appreciated.
