Want To Buy 404Jeffery Ammo

Dessert Tech has brass in stock if you want to bypass the Hornady practice route.

Use the Hornady for practice and then reload with what you like to hunt with

True, but the Hornadys (DGXs & solids) are loaded to 2350+fps (i.e., Rigby levels) whereas my .404 stash is all loaded - and my rifle zero-ed - at original Jeffrey levels (i.e., 2100-2150fps).

For practice, I want POA = POI. Probably at 60-yds it doesn’t really make a difference, but ….

Oof. Thats like $4500 in breakaway solids and a frames. Gonna have to slowly build that up.

That’s the only way to do it is buy a few boxes of each along and along until you have a supply you’re happy with.

I switched from using Swift breakaway solids and a-frames to CEB solids and raptors and TSX’s due to availability. Plus CEB will do custom grain weights for you and I like that option. I had them make me 500x 600 grain .505 diameter Safari solids and 500x 570 grain Safari raptors in .505 diameter as well. Well worth it for me though.

Hornady advertises 2300 fps. As the OP says he wants to get to 2100-2150 fps as you do. Having them loaded is going to be his only option.

Personally I don't mind practicing with extra ammunition I have no intention to hunt with even if the POI is quite a bit different as long as it groups well. I like to shoot quite a few boxes from sticks just to get good muscle memory and feel comfortable.

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
