Dzombo solids, history?
We have many local bullet manufacturers, and most have some history or we know the people behind the company. Dzombo solids are very highly rated by many PHs and field guides, but does anybody know the history of the company, where did it start , who is behind the company etc. This out of curiosity.

The company started as a collaboration between Bjinse Visser and Danie Joubert. Yes, that is the same Danie who does some of the finest metalwork on rifles in the world.
I tend to measure a product by the caracter of the people behind it. In this case I would rate the product highly.

Bjinse was also a Gunsmith, but has retired from Gunsmithing. Only makes Bullets now.

Antlion, you can now query the correct people and get their story. Would make an interesting article for one of the hunting magazines.
