We have a deal with a wholesaler to supply Hull cartridge 2 1/2" shells at the same price we pay in the UK. 12-bore and 20-bore no problem. 16 and 28 - not available as far as i know.

12 and 20 were what we had access to.

12's were plenty, 20's were harder, did not look for 16's or 28's. We were advised to stick with12 and 20 gauge guns by outfitter.

Hey guys, just a few more questions, yea right.
If you made prior arrangements with the outfitter is it possible to get 16 gauge ammo over there? And what type of airline gun case would you suggest?
The birds in general, is the hunting the same as in South Dakota or Kansas or are there some tricks they pull only in Africa?

I am not sure about the ammo. It could possibly be done I would think.
I used an Americase 3003
http://catalog.americase.com/shotgun-cases/3003-blk.aspx
I liked it so I could store additional items with the guns. Below are some pictures of the case.





Each PH I am sure is going to be different to some degree. The guy I went with hunted very similar to the way I do at home here in ND. The main difference is the limit is higher, there is no sunset clause for shooting hours and there is no steel shot for waterfowl. He did say that we were the youngest and hardest hunting bunch he ever had for birds due to we were willing to walk so much. Many of the clients he had were much older and were not able to push it as hard. In order for drive type hunting I would suggest hunting with a PH who had more bird hunting clients at once or go in a larger group if you can. If not it is next to impossible to get good driven Guinea fowl shooting. I prefer to hunt in smaller groups and sacrifice that aspect. I still shot plenty of Guinea the way we did it. If you want feel free to pm me with any questions you have.
