The only brass I can find for the 400 H&H is Qual-cart. I find that it is thin and brittle compared to the Norma brass I am used to that I use for another cartridge I reload. Has anyone found this brass harder to work with for multiple reloading? I am thinking of annealing to help with the longevity but I am new to this process. Anyone had success annealing qual-cart brass?
 
i anneal mine after every 2 relaodings. They aren't really Quality. I use them for practice ans save my good brass for hunting.
 
No experience with Qual-Cart brass. Why not anneal then expand some 375 H&H for practice, use the head-stamped 400 H&H brass for the hunt? I wonder what brass Hendershots uses for their 400 H&H loads?

I believe Hendershots uses Quality-Cart. I think I will fire form some of my 375 brass for practice.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
