Tip Burns, Canyon Lake Tx. Tip is one of the good ones and is very familiar with big bore rifles.

Uplander, is your rifle on a Mauser 98 action? If it is, while it is at MNR, you could ask to see if they have a bolt that would headspace to your existing rifle and then open the face and the extractor and then weld a new handle on to match the one you have . This would basically give you the...

Last year I got a deal on a new profiled barrel blank in .435 cal. I threaded it for LR Mauser 98. I rented the reamer/ H.S. gauges from 4D and set the headspace for two bolts, one standard for the stock 425 WR and one I opened up for basically the 404J, in my case, I use 338 RUM as I got 100...

The RSM action is a true magnum length action capable of handling all of the big cartridges like the 416/450 Rigby, 458 lott and even bigger, not even remotely close to the action used on the African.

6.5x53R A&N Steyr/Mannlicher bolt .318 Express Vickers LTD bolt 450/400 3" R.B. Rodda Double This is what I took, less the 6.5, on my first safari. I wish I had taken the 6.5 but decided two guncases could be a hassle.

I know Bertram produces .425 Westley Richards brass, but did not see it on the list. I would love some if you can get them!

Hammer Bullets in Montana makes a 235 gr. mono in .330 for the .318 W.R. and a 400 gr. mono in .435 for the .425 WR. They have a great reputation. Lee

Guys, this sounds more complicated than it actually is! 30/06 brass is easily length trimmed just a bit, then run through a .318 full length sizing die, annealed, and, Voila!, you have .318 WR brass. Fifteen years ago, I got lucky enough to buy 150 pieces of Quality Cartridge, properly...

If you get up some orders from Bertram, I could sure use .425 W.R. and 350 Rigby rimless mag Brass. They also make 435 bullets for the 425W.R., I'd buy some! Lee

Especially 425 W.R. !

250 gr. 318 W.R. and 215 gr. 303's

I have used Timneys for years but now I prefer Jard. Try one, you will love it.
