    Pure art. In this mass produced world having a rifle that displays this level of craftsmanship is a blessing. You have a real treasure there.

    Is that possible? I have semi- custom builds with the barrels made by Benchmark and Douglas. In both cases the sights were soldered on afterwards. I wasn’t given the option otherwise.

    Fire forming for 400 H&H

    I have never annealed, but it seemed to accept the die easily. I use imperial wax and it seemed to be no problem. It has a taper still that needs to blow out. Quivkload shows this powder charge and bullet to have very moderate pressure. I am not sure what else I would use to otherwise fire form...

    Fire forming for 400 H&H

    Thank you I too have North Forks and A Frames set up with my head stamped brass. I really like this calibre. I am apprehensive about the initial shot with the reformed brass as it looks different even after running it through the 400 die. I appreciate reassurance!

    Fire forming for 400 H&H

    I am going to use the abundance of 375 H&H brass that I have to make practice ammo for my 400 H&H. This is my first attempt at fire forming brass to convert it to a different calibre, so any insight and advice is welcome. My plan is to resize 375 H&H brass to the 400 H&H shape and then load a...

    I have to agree with you. And I say that begrudgingly because I have always been a vocal critic of our political elite - having spent a lot of time fighting in court against them. But COVID seems to have had a strange side effect on our country in that it seems to run better. There are major...

    Is the 465 H&H as dead as your dinner?

    So? It’s still a discussion that is fair game. That’s what this forum is all about, no?

    Preservation - Nature Conservation

    Every year, a couple of times at least, family and friends head into the field to hunt. We head to a rural area. The entire activity is regulated and taxed to ensure populations remain appropriate for the area, and money goes into government coffers. The first reasonable animal that ambles...

    I follow the DA and I note they are turning traditionally ANC ridings. I don’t understand the electoral structure in South Africa, but there does seem to be a shift happening since the last election. Is there a noticeable shift in politics to those who live there?
