A friend who farms near Kroonstad in the Freestate has a European boar problem that he caused when a bunch of the things got out of an enclosure. There's an apparently growing population of then in the area now.

Has anyone hunted these?

I know of a farm near Fochville where feral hogs were living, and also about a farm near Ventersdorp where cattle had grown wild.

How often and where has it occurred in SA?

Sorry - just had to get Mark Felton in somehow

Politics AND guns ....    ( yes it is real and factual )

Great idea...I just need someone shouting "GRIP,GRIP,GRIP" in my ear when I'm running a stage and I would have alot more Alpha's

A friend of mine does it when we train and its amazing how much difference it makes...

Seeing as you mention it .. I would like to see a review by Mark Felton
Any other books on Hitler that you read ?
A very complex and fascinating character ( compare him to Stalin )

One of the local gun shops here had military boxes / cases of Romanian AK ammo selling in bulk
NO idea of the price - never asked as I do not have one of these - smokepoles

Case capacity gr H2O = 97.5 - 102

QuoteThe case capacities in grains of H20  are as follows, Peterson ~97.5, Nosler ~ 99 grains, Bertram ~100,  and ADG~102. These are all fired brass measurements to the top of the neck. We feel this is the best way to measure, as "usable" capacity is arbitrary. Of these options, ADG is my favorite. It is very consistent, strong, and has the largest capacity. It, combined with somewhere around .200" of freebore, will be most likely to allow you to run a 215 Berger at the 3100FPS node with H1000 and a 26" barrel.

I'm quite convinced of the folly of trying to live in a sterile environment. One of my relatives is a clean freak nutcase and her environment was continuously cleaned and disinfected and only filtered water was consumed in her home. Her kids weren't allowed to walk barefoot and I never saw them even a bit grubby. She, her husband and the two kids were the most sickly bunch of people I've ever come across despite coming from the same good cockroach stock as the rest of us who wallowed in the muck like pigs.
