    Big ask about some 404 Jeffery Brass

    So I'm late to the party but that might be good in this case. I see that @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION has some Norma 404 Jeffery brass in stock, and I've been fighting a rifle because of not having the right sized dies or the brass is too thin to get any tension on the bullet. If anyone happens to...

    Why oh why do I reload some days?

    Couple years ago when I was buying every rifle I ran into with a caliber starting with a "4" I picked up a super cool Ruger No 1 for an absolute sweetheart deal. Like, enough of a deal I thought the Effa Bee Eyes might come tell me I robbed the dude, but I just paid what he asked. Anyways, I was...

    So who knows anything about Bestech knives?

    So I went down the rabbit hole known as Proxibid the other night and came across an auction in Montana that was just brimming with blades of various types. Got to window shop a bit, got zoned in on about 24 things knowing full well I'd miss most of them (RIP Hazen Sargent Major, I'll see you...

    USA: The Adak Island Experience

    Back in December I got a somewhat short notice call from a friend of mine that there was an opening with a group of guys going Caribou hunting on Adak Island, Alaska and wondering if I wanted to go. Well, that's basically like asking if the Pope was Catholic so I gave status green and started...

    Collection of Knives - Randy Lee, Randall Made, Boker

    Up for grabs is a few different knives that came as part of a collection I acquired. I've got these cross posted on eBay, but would prefer to offer them direct at a lower price to AH rather than giving seller fees to eBay, so I'm posting up this thread, but wanted to point that out as if you...

    1917 Barrel in 404 Jeffery?

    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 met someone from the internet (and didn't get murdered!!)

    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...

    Any experience with Arken Optics?

    I recently got an absolutely insane deal on an Arken 6-24x50 FFP scope. Anyone have any experience with them good bad or ugly?

    460WBY/500 A-Square Components

    I recently picked these up but decided I do not have room on my plate for another project with all the 416 cal stuff I have going on. So they are going up for grabs. 1. RCBS 500 A-Square Dies. Great condition, appears to have been used very little. $100 2. Clymer 500 A-Square Finish Reamer. May...

    Escrow.com does not support firearms or munitions transactions

    I notice that the site recommends usage of escrow.com to facilitate transactions in the classifieds, however, reading their terms it appears that they do not support firearms or munitions transactions. While their services may provide a benefit, recommending them in a section whose primary...

    Why you don't trust others reloads!

    So last weekend I picked up a package of stuff at a show that included 15 rounds of 416 Rigby. Not that I needed it since I don't own one, but I'm not going to turn down the freebie right? Well, I debated if I wanted to leave them intact but my policy of "never trust other people's reloads" won...

    What to do: 375 Dakota Brass

    So I recently picked up some 375 Dakota brass...mainly because I found it and I know it's a unicorn and just on the off chances that it'd help me on my 416/404JEF issues. I know it's based on a 404 Jeffery parent, but it's shortened way to far for that to be of any use to me on that project. Are...

    I'm no expert but ....

    ... It seems like this auction showing an estimated sale price of 600-900 is kind of optimistic for 20 rounds of ammo in cans of this condition even if it is 470NE. I don't have a 470 and thus have no skin in the game but if my math is right: 600/20 = 30/round 900/20 = 45/round I mean, is...

    404 Jeffrey - Oh Boy, another project!

    So hot on the heels of my deciding that a 416 Taylor should be in my life, and while still in the struggle to find things like "dies" and "bullets" and such, apparently I couldn't help myself and decided that another one needed a new home: It came up at auction and the call of "404...

    Am I missing a feedback option?

    So, after being a longtime lurker I took the plunge and joined up recently to kick off some adventures with larger rifles. And since then, dangerously, I've been hanging out here a fair bit because it seems like AH is full of good folks and less drama than my local board. However in my journey...

    Wanted 416 Taylor Dies & Brass (Or Formable Brass)

    I recently picked up a 416 Taylor, and while I'd love to shoot it, I find that I'm slightly lacking in the ammo or components department. So if anyone happened to have dies or brass they wanted to let go of I'd be interested. Understanding that 416 Taylor brass is either rare, or expensive, I'm...

    416 Taylor Info and Advice

    So I'm going to post up a sort of excitement thread, because, well, I figure this is the forum where it needs to be. I just happened to win a 416 Taylor at auction, at what I think is a stupid reasonable price, and I'm kind of stoked about it. However, I will say that I pretty well know...

    Howdy

    Been lurking for a long time, but finally created an account. I suppose I resisted for a long time as the classified might wind up costing me money ;) To be honest, I like collecting more than hunting but some of the things floating through here are always eye candy, and I do like the tales of...
