With the shortage of ammo still lingering, do y’all think 404 Jeffery will ever be commercially made anymore?
 
It's actually getting a bit easier I think as 404 Jeff is the parent for some of the newer generation of short, fat magnums.

.423 bullets seem to be being made by more people as well...
 
I have a box of 450g Norma FMG available

Rifles or ammunition?...ammunition my gun shop got Norma and LFB 404 in stock...bought some 3 weeks ago to have a check of my iron sights out on my 404...but think that shop is a bit far from you :E Big Grin:
 
I don't think a .404J will go out of favor again during my lifetime.
 
Sako are making 500 jeff now...just bought a 10 rnd pack to try...Will have look on their website and see if they doing 404 as well..nope unfortunately

There is six boxes of Hornady .404 J for sale on Gunbroker for $600. That is about the going price of Hornady .404 ammo before the big gun/ammo price crisis created by the covid pandemic.

How do you know if it is bonded, or the old dgx that had a bad reputation?
 
I don't know. You can contact the owner or just go by what @ay2626 stated and showed in the above post.
 
You can order it from Hendershots And get them for around $150.00 a box.
 
Double Tap, Hornady, Norma, Swift, and, I think, RWS make .404J ammo. The Double Tap ammo that I have uses Norma brass.

I have 100 Norma cases, 80 RWS cases and a friend recently sent me 100 once fired Hornady cases. Now, if I could just get some Swift A-Frame 400s...
 
I was in Marksmen Gunshop in Wichita Falls TX a few days ago. They had 10-12 boxes of Hornady 404J ammo for sale. If I recall, it was $130 box.

Lots of claims about short magnums having been based off the 404 Jeffrey. If you look at the dimensions of 404 and short magnums, one may wonder why they do that. The two case’s aren’t even close-lol. 404 will continue to be made. I’m not sure I get the concern that a cartridge will be discontinued because of a shortage-lol. The internet-go figure.

Interesting!

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,
