One cartridge to hunt dangerous game for the rest of your life and it can't be a 375, what are you going with?

[Daniel Cary]

500 Jeffery, 577.

No question for me after my last two weeks in Africa the 404J is my choice. Made two 300 yard shots no problem and all dropped on the spot. I will not be taking my 375 any more…just my 404J and DR

Like I mentioned previously...hunters with double rifles or other large /super bore rifles always look around to find a 404 Jeffery ...I have never met a dangerous game hunter who was not looking to find a 404 Jeffery for himself ....Bolt action 404 Jeffery that is

3rd 416 Ruger

Dave, you need to have a 404 Jeffery as well, it will compliment your .500 Jeffery for sure...

A .404 would be wonderful.


I have a .416 Rigby and I would stick with that because it's fairly flat shooting in a scoped bolt action.


It seems that factory .404 has become available again from Hornady, but one needs to strike fast.

Why "Baby" of course. My 500 Jeffery. She's in the process of getting "dolled up" ebony forend, grip cap and darker finish.

I understand & am happy for ya .. but that's tough to doll up.
wbr, Dan.

I have a 577NE single shot. That's what I will continue to use for buffalo. ( I will get someone to carry it .)

You have a couple of dozen to choose from and any thing over a 375 pr 9.3x62 qualifies..although imo so does the 375 and 9.3x62 if one can shoot, but that is only my opine.

450/400 Nitro Express 3” or 458 Lott, prolly the Lott first as it’s a bolt gun, 400 Jefferey is a great cartridge and has been used on it all and before the 375 H&H it did it all. Load the 458 with lighter bullets and it’ll do it all too.

 

[Daniel Cary]

If I'm fortunate, I'll make one hunt .. thus the 500,
