I have used Woodleigh 400 RNSO on NT water buff. They worked just fine on 4 bulls and a scrub bull plus a handful of cows. First two where they stood, second two down within 20m. I used only Woodleighs in 300wm in two Namibian trips for 16 head, and an 8x68s in SA. PPSN and RNSN AND AN Eland...

Hi Ontario Hunter. Sorry to hear how bad yours became. I’ve been fortunate that I have not needed surgery my vision has not been badly affected. I only shoot the 404 off sticks or free hand now and not that often. I do shoot a 375 H&H and an 8x68S in a Mauser M03 a bit more often, but I had a...

This is the load detail form 98 in 404. Projectile was a Woodleigh RNSN, primer CCI LRM 250. Starting at 75g of ADI2208. I shot Too many rounds off the bench. Caused a retina problem in my left eye.I made a mistake with the 79g load, it was 1.5 inches at 100, which would have been pleasing...

Welcome to the club. Magnificent group sell the 458! I can vouch for its effectiveness on Territory Water Buff and scrub bulls using Woodleighs. My custom 98 by Bob De Vries at Kudu services shot a clover leaf at 100 at my starting load with 400 Woodleighs over 75g of ADI 2208 for 2235fps. 79g...

What a wonderfully generous prize and opportunity HUNTROMANIA. CHEERS

Lol. The only non invasive BGA is salt water crocs, and they are fully protected. All deer, introduced, buffalo, banteng, camels, donkeys, feral horses, goats, pigs, foxes, rabbits, all introduced. The scourge of cane toads, yep, introduced..Wild ring neck pheasant, only in one small isolated...

Hi 404 guys..I have just looked at some old posts on the thread. The magazine and feed conundrum. Paul Mauser engineering equation on magazine measurement ( according to the post, not doubting) seems clear. So how do Mauser manage switch barrel rifles like the M03, where some of the cartridges...

I had a Mauser recoil reducer installed in my M03. 375/8x68S after a second shoulder reconstruction that failed. I also installed a muzzle brake. Not prepared to give up shooting these calibres because of a shoulder issue just yet. Definitely a noticeable reduction in recoil, both off the bench...

Great job 264, impressive. Thanks for the info. What do you do in your spare time[emoji3]

Have had success with 180PP in 300 wm on a doz plains game, all one shot bar an Oryx which was PPP from me. Also downed an old Eland with a 180 hydro. Had to wait on the shot due to pass through concerns. Massive internal trauma on the Eland Shot 2 water buff in NT with 400g 404 RNSN. Both...

Welcome aboard the 404j experience. I recently gave my custom FN Mauser in 404 an excursion on Northern Territory Buff. Using Woodleigh 400g RNSN loaded in Bertram Brass with 79g ADI 2209. and 400g Hydros with same powder charge. I Stalked in on two young Bulls. My first shot was at 80m. To my...
