Talked to Pete at Qual Cart and he has a bunch of .470 Empire brass that needs to be used. So I have a project to build the gun now.

Anybody have any experience with it or load data?

It’s a .460 Weatherby cut back to fit in standard action, necked up to .474”.

I wouldn’t even know where to start for loads. Besides throwing about 70grains of H1000 and seeing what happens. lol

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
