    Default 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.

    Say no more, I have met Danie, he threaded my barrel, I have seen some of his work, as well as in depth discussion with him, makes sense now.

    Danie is a true craftsman and fantastic to do business with.

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

    It's the only solid I use

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