I make cartridge display board and some of them contain many Dangerous Game/Safari cartridges. Brass can be very hard to find for many of them. Quite often I have to use fired brass when new is not available. I really dislike super gluing the bullets into the case. It's just un-professional.
What is the max case length I can size and seat in my RCBS RC IV? I'm sure a 3" case will be fine, but I have a few 3.25" cartridges I'm not sure about. I've heard of guys seating bullets then removing the die to be able to tip the cartridge to get it out of the press. The cases in question are the 500/416 and 500/465. If I can make it work with my press, I'll continue the search for dies.
Thanx
Curtis

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
