Intrigue, mystery and a bit of controversy? Huh? My name isn't even on the rifle!! ;)

Great info...sounds like we have the same base rifle after all! Out of curiosity, am I guessing right were I to guess panhandle of Oklahoma?? If so I might like to hear who is doing your work on the barrel? I'm not that much of a drive from there and wouldn't mind a trip if the work could get...

Baller dude!! Glad you finally got your hands on one!

I'm kind of the opposite. I had one of the Lee bench ones and that nearly gave me a heart attack when it jammed and then blew up. I packed that up and donated it to a friend afterwards and didn't look back. IIRC they might have had a recall or safety concern with them blowing up and had to...

Yeah, can't go wrong with this one.

The current rifle is using a 404 Jeffrey case necked down to .416 so it's good to go from a case length and dimensional aspect. But unless there's some real crazy stuff in the world, I doubt the barrel itself can be opened up. The problem that stymied me last year is that this came with dies ---...

Okay, so harkening back to my long thread last year where I got a 416/404Jeffery wildcat, and attempted to get it working ... well, I haven't got it working. I've honestly not had a lot of time to pour into the endeavor, but at the same time, I'm really not looking forward to trying much. That...

I love the little "TH" added to the sights. That's a cool touch.

Dang, I look away from this thread when it was like Christmas!! @Wishfulthinker580 that's some major props on those --- those blades are gorgeous. If I'm being honest, I'd have wanted them just because they are gorgeous, and I don't think I'd be able to have put them to use as intended though so...

I had never in my life thought of what those were called, so I'm having a TIL moment over here :D

It is a drool worthy collection, not gonna lie. What I might have in volume, he has in quality.

I mean, I have no doubt boo boo would be down for hunting more tacos in this case :D

So last week was my routine daddy/daughter trip and not wanting to go fight the crowds and college kids at a beach somewhere no matter what my daughter said she wanted, we headed out west from flyover country with a general idea of some activities. Well, wouldn't you know that the plan took us...

Checked my pile but the best I've got is a 2.5-10 laying around, sorry to hear about the bad experience for sure.

My solution to all those tasks is to find something like deewayne2003 mentioned above, but I got a small benchtop shopfox lathe to run them in. Basically chuck it up, process a set of brass, chuck the next, and keep going. Really nice for batch operations. Also, because it's variable speed that...
