Try Huntingtons Die Specialties. They have bags of 100 375 H&H for only a few bucks over$100.00. I bought RWS cases from them in the past. IMHO, RWS brass is the best made. I don't know what these cases are. Ask about them and good luck. JM

You really mean, not even "goodnuf". JM

matchu865, get some Renaissance wax. It's a British product used by the British Museum to protect everything from marble statues to metallic pieces and has worked very well on my French walnut stocked 375 H&H on both the wood and metal. FWIW. JM

Lots on "gunsinternational", all price ranges. JM

I failed to mention the plaster vibratory trick. JM

I've loaded many cartridges with compressed loads and have not had any issues. Most recent used was a 270 Roy shooting a 140 gr Failsafe on top of 79 gr of ReL 25, Fed gm 215 primers @ 3300 fps. It tipped over a B&C 179 1/8 Rocky Mtn Ram. Priceless. JM

I've had Magnsportind done on two 340 Roy's. I don't have any recoil issues but wanted to stop muzzle rise and the Magnaporting works great with little increase in perceived noise. FWIW. JM

Weatherby, of course. JM

I'd think about a 270 Roy with a 1 in 8 inch twist for the longer monometal bullets coming online. JM

Weatherby uses epoxied internal cross bolts behind the front recoil lugs and behind the magazine well. Never had an issue with my Mark V 375 H&H. FWIW. JM

The black coating is a copper oxide (Lubolox) not moly. I've used them in my 270 Roy (140 gr@3300 fps) for several mule deer, and two Rocky Mountain bighorns with obvious great sucess. I've used the 230 gr in my 340 Roy @3100 fps on paper but not on game. Win quit making them (Nosler Combined...

I had a restaurateur friend cure and smoke and roast a black bear ham for me. It was better than any commercial ham I've ever had. Rated right up with high end custom ham. JM

I use ReLoder 17, 74.0 gr behind 299 gr Shock Hammers, RWS cases and Fed 215 GM primers for 2670 fps, 10 shot, 1.5 inch groups from back pack rest. JM
