I’ll send you a pm.

I wish I’d taken pictures. Not much at all. My box was riveted together, I knocked the rivets out, did some grinding on the end pieces to put them on the ends of the box instead of inside, and welded it up. I’d buy another riveted box and do it again if I had to

I’ve got a 1917 eddystone sitting on the bench I’ve opened up and stretched the magazine for a 404. Working through other projects before I get back to it, but if memory serves me I decided on a preferred barrels blank. If google is fighting you search for a .423 caliber rather than 404. 1917s...

That caliber stamp is likely the most satisfying thing I’ll see today.

A friend of mine uses a 338 RUM with accubonds as his guide and loaner rifle. He told me clients have had great luck with the 300 PRC as well, and he recommends a 300 or 338. I told him I’d like to use my 375 on one and he said they’ve lost more shot with a 375 than anything else. I imagine shot...

I own one of these (bought it for snakes) and it’s a fun handful. My take on 3” buckshot - don’t do it. It’s fine for shooting from the hip, but don’t try to aim with it. I was trying to kill a pig with mine stuffed full of 000 3” Remington off of palo duro canyon. No pigs were spotted, so I...

I guess I better take the Winchester. Sending PM.

That stuff is non existent and prolly always will be! If I ever get around to resizing nosler brass I’ll let y’all know how it works. The difference in rim diameter won’t matter on the CRF rifle.

I just hate to waste my 404 brass as hard as it is to get.

I have a buddy in the same boat. I’m thinking about resizing, trimming, and neck turning 28 nosler brass and trying that. He’s got a pile of it. I know the rim is slightly smaller but it’s still a 404 based case. 30 nosler is close but I think just short enough to not work.

Good luck with fed ex. I shipped a rifle (Remington mountain rifle) from Texas to Washington last fall. We packed the rifle in a case, then into a cardboard box with extra padding. Box arrives late (paid $112 to ship this thing) with tire tracks on it. Guy pulls the case out, it’s crushed to the...

After hunting hard in the morning with some close friends and not spotting any shooters, I found this guy bedded not far from my house. Deer just weren’t getting out of bed. Killed him 30 minutes before I was supposed to be at my son’s first birthday party. Was only 5 minutes late. I told my...

I had the privilege of seeing this arrangement in person and I must say pictures don’t do it justice!
