Headed to SA 2013 for 1st safari. Wanna take my wildcat 300WM/7mm for plains game. Rifle is a BDL that started out as a 7RM and had it rechambered to 300WM/7mm. 7mm Rem Mag is what is stamped on the factory bbl. Of course, all the ammo is 300Win Mag head stamp.

As I understand it, the bbl. caliber and the ammo headstamp MUST match up to get a SAP permit to bring it into J-berg. And they do check it, I'm told.

Anybody have any knowledge on this? Have an email into the PH but he's in the bush. Got a few months (May), but if I'm gonna have to get a new stick, time is short.

Thought I'd draw on the vast pool of talent here. Any info is greatly appreciated in advance. Thanks!

I'll check with my wife, prior to me meeting her she went on safari using a 338/375 Toklat. The ammo has a 338 headstamp. She went to 4 different countries. I just gotta remember to ask her.
