I have a request that I can't imagine anybody will say yes to but here goes...

I have a 450/400 on order in the UK. I've had special loads made up for it by Lonnie at Superior Ammunition. They should be relatively low recoil. But before I go to all the trouble to get them into the UK I'd like to shoot a couple so I can judge for myself whether it's going to be worth the effort.

If anybody in the KC area is willing to let me shoot their rifle a couple times I'll give you a generous gift certificate at the BBQ place of your choice. As long as it's not Q39. :)

Jk, I'll do Q39 if I must. That's how desperate I am.
 
How would this work if the custom loads were not regulated for whomever was lending you their rifle?
 
Might check to see how close the 2 rifles are (or will be) in weight as well. Chapuis are lighter than the older English doubles I have seen...just thinking if the recoil is heavier than expected but weight is lighter you might take that into consideration.

I have them. They are very reduced. My 12 year shoots it. You could shoot them all day.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
