    AUSTRALIA: Few Foxes - Australia

All deer, introduced, buffalo, banteng, camels, donkeys, feral horses, goats, pigs, foxes, rabbits, all introduced.

    I've Applied For Membership Into the 404J Club

    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...

    Mercury recoil reducers, do they work?

    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...

    Woodleigh Hydro for buffalo?

    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...

    What is it about 404 Jeffery?

    I used Raitt’s and changed to Gentium Air Freight Services, for the work at that end. Alex Hue did a great job and were way under the other freight mob

    What is it about 404 Jeffery?

    Bob, the frustrating thing is that they will no longer allow more than one shipment to be packed together. Who did you hunt with? We were with Harald Jacobzs

    What is it about 404 Jeffery?

    Incidentally, my Eland turned up yesterday after a two year wait. This Hartmans skin turned up as well. I’ve sneaked it in, not sure how long it will last there tho!! I shopped around for a freight price and made a huge saving even tho the airlines are limited. Import fees and customs in...

    What is it about 404 Jeffery?

    Hi Rule 303. I will do..I have some in the cupboard to load, and also in most of the other stuff I reload. I used a 300wm hydro on a 900kg Eland and can vouch for the damage they do. It was a long wait for the bull to be enough on his own to take the shot. I only used Woodleighs on my trips and...

    What is it about 404 Jeffery?

    The original thread question was “what is it about the 404?”.Actionbobs reply started “ there is history with the 404” and mentioned “it has a reputation for getting the job done” I have not seen a better summation throughout the entire thread. Of course all firearms, Calibers and cartridges...
