@Joker12 yep that should work after August hunt. Took it for a drive today with TSX and she shot great a true MOA. Just need to swap the scope to my Swarovski 1-6 even though the Zeiss Victory on it is nice. I know the lead sled is a no no to many but no weight and an extra decelerator pad has...

Thank you @Schüler Jumbo I ordered the Hornady OAL tools this morning.

@Schüler Jumbo and @Riflecrank thank you much for your insight and knowledge. I really appreciate the ideas.

@PARA45 thanks, the rifle is 15 years old. I will try my TSX ammo and check accuracy. When I get home I believe I what I need to make a dummy and insert it slowly and check the length.

@UpNorthMI understood and thanks. I have my old standby 375HH and a 404J. My son and I hunt in August. This rifle was an upgrade. I’ll try the TSX see how they group and go from there.

What bothers me is the AFrames have slight markings where they seem to stop. The TSX load and eject smoothly not engaging any obstruction. What causes the marks understanding the ogive is bulkier? Is it the lands of the rifleing?

@deewayne2003 thank you, I spoke to ParkWest/Dakota. No help in finding if this was something seen before.

@375er thank you, I thought of this. These are factory ammo which I have a bunch of and I don’t reload but Hendershot has made a bunch of ammo for my 404j so I could go that route

@USMA84DAB and @uplander01 thanks for the inputs. I don’t believe I am properly qualified for throat reaming myself and would leave that to either Dakota or a good smith. Certainly understand the accuracy of the 375 and 1/4 MOA not an issue. It’s just very disappointing that I received a...

I received a new to me Dakota Safari in 375HH. I use factory ammo so have both Swift AFrame 300 grain made by Swift and Barnes TSX in 300 grains. The Barnes ammo cycles nicely the Swift ( two different periods of time one new one 7 years old) will not allow me to close the bolt. By eye they look...

Wow, what an adventure. Some memories from that trip for sure. Congrats

Gorgeous collection and picture

Will, very impressive. Gorgeous rifles in a perfect picture
