Going to be a great hunt. Best of luck. Tell York hello from his Arkansas buddies

404 Jeffery. How much are you getting?

Certainly not for common cartridges. Good lapua brass in 30-06 is a little over $1. Norma 375 H&H is about $1.80 at the moment. But 404 is unfortunately a supply and demand issue. Who knows when it will be readily available again. Did you find Norma 404 brass for sale in SA? I haven’t seen any...

Done. I’ll pm you details

I’ll take those 5 boxes. No need to pay GB fees.

Gorgeous double. Love it and the accoutrements. Thanks for sharing.

Ruger RSM is way too bulky in 375. Winchester Alaskan is just right. Recently picked up this pair for my two boys and was very impressed with the fit and finish for the price point.

My favorite in 404 is the 380 SS North Fork. Loaded at 2400, makes for a very versatile setup. Reloading international has them in stock. North Fork recently posted they are doing a big run of 400 SS so they should be available soon as well. Cutting edge solids are great and as you said very...

From my files. I haven’t actually loaded the 430.

Mine came in a couple days ago. Looks great. Thanks for setting it all up @rookhawk

Federal loaded with 300 grn Aframe and woodleigh hydros are both available at the moment. Should be about perfect for your intended game.

Don’t have any experience with accubonds. If you’re looking for rapid expansion, you might give North fork PP a try. In stock at reloading international.

Congratulations! Well done Dalt and York. I know this has been a stressful 6 months and happy you can put this behind you.

Beautiful rifle and congratulations on what looks like a great hunt.

“The Sporting Shoppe” in RI. I had never heard of it but it’s a pretty impressive gun store to say the least. High end gear, 150 yard underground shooting range and even a restaurant and spa.

I agree. From the pics I’ve seen hexalocks are too tall. Those leupolds look nice.

Thank you for the quick reply. Actually the Z6 1.7-10x42 is one of my favorites and will probably be what I use. Maybe the illuminated reticle version. This will primarily be for plains game, leopard and some local deer hunting at reasonable ranges. Are these the EAW mounts directly from...

Thank you!

Picked up this HS today in 30-06. Will post better pics once it arrives. Need scope mount advice. Noticed several folks were using EAW. Any comments on your experiences with mounts would be appreciated.

Placed my order. Thanks

I was on that hunt too. We hunted in Matetsi 1 and cawston. 3 hunters, 46 animals including 3 sable, 3 buffalo and an elephant. No one will work harder to provide a successful hunt than Dalt and York. We have hunted with them 3 times and have 3 more trips on the book.

I’ll take one.

I think you’ll be very happy with CEB solids for your elephant hunt as long as they feed properly. There’s not a better solid on the market IMHO.

Norma, nosler and double tap all load 505 but like everything else I doubt you’ll find any in stock at the moment. Swift shows 505 on their website but I’ve never seen any in person.

Trophy bull and tuskless are totally different hunts. Both are unbelievably great hunts. Whether or not you get to import the ivory pales in comparison to the experience. If given the option I’d like to have my ivory but not getting it would in no way influence my decision to go or not. I...

I’ll take a copy

I happened to run across a gun store in TX that has a set of RCBS dies for 404 Jeffery. I didn’t need them but said I’d pass his info along. $150 for full length set and trim die. PM if interested and I’ll give you his name and number.

I would use the Northfork 400 percussion point. Specifically made for cats and maybe more importantly are actually in stock right now on reloading international.

Congratulations. Beautiful rifle!

My 500 89b was crossing at 50 yards using R15 and swift aframes/CEB solids. I never could get R15 to work. Switched to H4350 and problems resolved.

Are the bullets crossed? In other words, which shot is the right barrel?

Yes I am. Posted on both sites. Whatever price you decide I’m fine with. Thank you. [redacted]

WTB RCBS 500 Nitro 3” dies. Thanks

I’ll take a copy.

Coincidentally, if you have already noticed, ay2626 just posted 7 boxes of 416 rem at about half of market price.

I know you’re looking for bullets for handloading but if you’re in a bind, swift has loaded 416 rem with 400 aframes in stock.

That’s disappointing to hear. Hope they’re not going out of business. Nice to know you can always have brass made with current scarcity.

Have you tried RCC brass? Excellent machined brass. Made to order so available in any quantity over 50.

I have a Tom Beckbe and Westley Richards rifle sleeve for my double and both are beautiful leather and work perfectly.

I have used NF exclusively for big game in multiple calibers for almost 20 years and they have never let me down. The original owner suggested 380 gn for 404 and they have worked great for plains game and buffalo. Unfortunately I was low on stock when they went out of business. I have enough for...

I’ve been waiting a couple years for one. Will call them tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up.

So 9-10 months delivery time? That’s pretty good. Is that standard or did you get a rush put on it because of an upcoming hunt?

Sincere condolences to her family and friends.

That’s a great scope for a 375 intended for DG hunting. 8x is more than enough for 300+ meters.

I haven’t bought one in a few years so I’m probably a little behind on the price. They usually have a DSC show special that cuts the price a bit or throws in a scope. 12k with upgraded wood sounds about right.

How much is the seller asking? For 10k you can get a new one from Chris and pick your wood. Beautiful wood definitely adds to the enjoyment of hunting with a fine rifle. That having been said, I think the pictures still don’t do it justice. Lighting is better but it’s still somewhat low...

You’re in very good hands with Dalt. Haven’t hunted with York but I hear he’s top notch as well. Omay will be awesome.

That’s a Martini Express rifle. They don’t make them in matte finish. The pictures are low resolution in poor lighting. I have 3 of them, my hunting partners have 2 more and I’ve handled a few dozen. I’ve never seen one with bad wood. This one might not be their best but I guarantee if you saw...

I bet it’s just poor lighting washing out the features. Metal looks matte black and that’s not what Heym express finish looks like.

That’s great to hear!
