Newer production Safari Express in 416 Rem Mag had no issues feeding 370 or 400gr CEBs from either side of the mag, without feed modification. COAL was 3.595".
Loaded up second stage loads of 300 Win mag to test 180gr Woodleigh PP's over RL22 (which I'm down under 4lbs of, sadly), and a comparative load with 180gr Swift A-Frames.
Also loaded some .375 H&H in 300gr Woodleigh PP's and 300gr Swift A-Frames, both over RL15.
Ordered 22 Hornet dies...
I'm relatively sure I've the "perfect" all around safari rifle in an AHR upgraded CZ550 in .375 H&H, topped with a Swarovski Z6i 1-6EE scope. It's digested numerous loads from 250-350gr with great accuracy and not much fuss on load workup. It's comfortable to shoot and pleasant to look at. The...
Not an easy call, here.
I've handled a few of the RSMs, and have two 77 Hawkeyes with the same safety. I always felt the safety in the full rear position (bolt and trigger blocked) sat too close to the shroud and wasn't as easy to blindly "grab" with a thumb as the Winchester style is.

Great looking range and I really like that tripod standing mount with Garmin mount! Got a Xero C1 from Santa this week.
After spending the afternoon freezing at 20*F shooting skeet, that indoor shooting port with a wood stove sounds awesome!
I used 165gr TTSX's out of my 300 win mag in 2021 in South Africa with great results. I'm currently working up loads for 180gr A-Frames and 180gr Woodleigh PP's for it now for an upcoming leopard and plains game hunt in 2027.
Haven't used the ELD-X bullets, but have read mixed reviews from...
Incredible write up. I followed your earlier posts and read your published article. My wife is a marathon runner, and I always tease her that she should come on a hunt with me and train by doing this. I'll be sure to forward this along.
