Every bit helps. This is a major undertaking and considering the spectrum of calibers and co$t, it matters. While the 4th is built on the foundation of the past three, it is still a lot of work.

Thank you for helping make this book happen.

$55 plus shipping from Buffalo Arms on waiting list. $167 for three from John Rigby AU. Either way a good deal. Sooo glad to see this edition.

Buffalo Arms taking back orders as of today. I went ahead and also bought one from Rigby Australia earlier. Nice to have a back up. So glad Wright updated his book. It's great reading on its own but so good for the shooter of doubles.

Getting back to the New Haven Winchester... my classic stainless 375 was rough and shows that the plants "unionism" in the final days was reason enough to close the shop. I have CZs and 70s. Either is fine. My Rem 700 375 is a tack driver for Alaska. Buy what you can afford.... used or...

If you have to count.... you really don't care.

Wooden buckets have gone into hiding.

The No. 1 in 458 is a puddy tat. Recoil is more so with the Rigby but sooooo classic. Room in butt for extra weight.... lead filled copper tube. Nothing wrong with hunting DG with one with a good PH behind you. It's the first shot that counts and a single shot makes that clear.

African Rifles and Cartridges by Taylor... historical perspective.

And his larger books especially on Cape Buffalo.

Add to that, I have checked the usual sources and 470 and 500 NE brass isn't listed. Bottom of the totem pole.

Dare I say it? Yes. The 375 H&H is the GOAT African calibers.

The simple acid test.... will a Lott CASE safely chamber? Plenty of people load the 458 to Lott length with Lott ballistics. I did it in a ZA Magnum Magazine article years back. My CZ 550 in 458 will not chamber a Lott case.

Excellent...classic. Good choice. One can buy the tonic syrup to add to seltzer to taste.
