    Bore snake?

    Bore snakes are worthless for lead and copper. But, I take one each hunt as it is easy to clean dirt and moisture from the bore. Some oil on the cloth is a good and easy way to coat the bore with oil.

    H&H .577/500 For Sale

    H&H .577/500 For Sale

    If it will help the sale. I have brass, dies, bullets for sale and reloading data. This cartridge is sadly overlooked and never was as popular as it should have been. 6 drams and a 440 grains bullet is an ideal buffalo or lion rifle.

    Traveling to Africa with Ammunition only

    4457 is only for items with a serial number. It is my understanding one can bring a firearm and ammo into Zimbabwe with proof of a hunt. I would not try to bring in ammo alone unless proof of hunting is obtained stating you are borrowing a rifle from the PH. Please call your PH or booking agent...

    AZ DAVE: My computer is down and using a friend's computer. PM or call me as I have a mild but developing interest in your .30-06. My old eyes can't see in the photo if your rifle is control feed or push feed. I have a .375 Whitworth--is the Interarms the same as the Whitworth?

    Shooting the .600 Nitro Express

    Yes, rifle was made for a requested fps load. My comments above were for rifles made before WWII.

    Shooting the .600 Nitro Express

    A bit of hype here. Only two vintage rifles (rumor of a third) were made for the 2050 fps load or 120 grains of cordite. Most .600s were made for 100 grains of cordite and 1850 fps and some were for 110 grains for 1950 fps (such as my John Wilkes). Recoil is not that bad as the rifle's weight...

    Question about 450-400 3”, 3.25” and 450NE shellholders

    The shell holders for the 500J and 505 went with the dies I sold and/or when I sold the rifles. The 450 to 577 I have for my own rifles. I have four sets of dies for .577-500 and shell holders for them, but they will go with the dies when I sell the rifles. Not sure of the 404 and 416 as I never...

    Question about 450-400 3”, 3.25” and 450NE shellholders

    I have both sizes in OD. I don't think any maker made one size but made them with what was on hand at the time or what the machines were set up to make. I had a local machinest years ago make some shell holders not made by others or I didn't want to wait months or a year or more. Cal
