Tredoux belt $385 shipped in the US.
Murray Belt $300 shipped in the US.

Both belts are as new and never hunted. The Tredoux belt I ordered directly from him and wore to a couple range practice sessions where I used it for a couple days of reload drills but doesn’t show any signs of real use. The Murray belt is totally unused. It’s been rolled up with a few other cartridge belts and I’ve never used it at all.

Tried to photograph measurements for both belts, and the Tredoux is adjustable allowing extending it 3-3.5” and shortening by up to 3”.

The elastic Murray belt seems able to accommodate several cartridge sizes from 375 upwards or 500NE…if interested please feel free to let me know what cartridge you’d intend to use in the belt, and I can try to provide confirmation with photos.

The Tredoux belt was supposed to be designed for my 450NE but seems to fit 450/400, 450NE, 470NE and 500NE. The larger 500NE fit very snugly where if that is what I intended to carry, I’d want to load the entire belt and leave it to stretch to perfectly accommodate the chambering.

For cartridge fitment and sizing, couple additional photos.

The Murray is totally unused so the elastic loops are virgin ready to accommodate and settle into whatever cartridge you run. It will absolutely snugly fit 416 Rigby through 500NE…and bet same for 375 if someone needs me to try for confirmation.

Pictured is a 416 Rigby, 450/400NE, 450NE and a 500NE slipped in to confirm fitment. All slid in snugly.

The Tredeux is adjustable with the slide and studs mid-belt, allowing range from 40” all the way to 52” from end of buckle to first and last hole. If smaller wanted, could easily punch a hole or two if someone wore like 32” jeans or the like. Super handy system in a bomb-proof heavy leather rig.

Dick Murray isn't known for the "prettiest" leather work, but he is absolutely known for the most durable leather work. There are many PHs that only use Dick Murray leather and I've learned to respect and emulate their opinion.

GLWS. Very fair price for a lifetime piece of leather goods there OP. It costs what it does because its worth it.
 
I have several Tredoux slides and love them. I’m tempted by this belt but my current setup with slides works very well. His work is top notch.
 
I purchased the Murray belt and it arrived in three days and , as is always the case with Mr. Murray’s stuff it is perfect and fits my 470 as advertised. Buy with confidence
 
Awesome gents. Super great to hear things arrives safely, promptly, and you are both happy.

I always seem to realize how much redundant gear I have when I start packing for a trip, which spurs me to try and thin some of it out since I invariably gather more in prep for whatever trip Im headed on, but also worrisome if things don't arrive prompt and safe...so genuinely appreciate the heads up.

Hope they serve y'all well.

Cheers,
Will

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer
Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
