Hi guys, I am based in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.

I learnt to hunt as a young boy chasing birds, rabbits an the odd buck in the bush and farmlands with an old Savage 22/410 combo gun, 22 Savage bold action and followed by a Savage bolt action in 22 Hornet.

I am about to acquire a neat Model 99 in 250 Savage. ( Serial # 513200 dated 1948). I intend using this rifle for varmints, Duiker, Impala, Nyala, Blesbok,Fallow Deer,Warthog,Bushbuck and maybe Kudu......we will see. I mainly walk and stalk in the Eastern Cape bush. I am also a very passionate fly fisherman.

I have joined this site with the hope to learn more about reloading for this particular caliber and to share my experiences. I will be on the lookout for a Savage 22/410 and also a model 99 in .300 to purchase in the future. The combo guns do come on the market from time to time but I expect a long wait until I find a .300.

Rgds,

MJ
