Great bullet!

Steyr Scout

400gr A Frame is a very good bullet in my M70

gt_diesel, I had a similar issue on my M70 416, took some trial and error but its 100% now. Even though it's not a CZ the link below will show the steps(and a lot of other BS)it took to resolve the issue. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/minor-issue-or-life-threatening-problem.16159/

I'm in Dammam, been getting lots of stuff done while the rest of the country is on the Eid holiday. If Dharhan is anywhere close by I have an Ashton VSG with your name on it!

Ah yes, Cigars.(Forgive my rant) Been a huge fan of handmade cigars since the mid 90s. Have tried many of the new in vogue cigars over the years and some were pretty nice, some were just hype. I find myself back to the old standards, Fuente, Excalibur, Padron, Ashton. A couple new-er favorites...

My first bullet of choice in 416 Remington mag was the 400gr TSX when I got my M70SE. Got a good supply of Hornedy brass and had a couple popular listed powders already on the shelf. The intent was to use a temperature stable powder, first choice was Varget then H4895. With a full charge...

This August I tipped a 338 cal 225 gr. TTSX on some brush in front of a blue wildebeast. We followed a good blood trail for +- 5 hours spotting him a couple times along the way. Also saw a couple irregular intrance wounds on other game from other folks in our party. If the bullet makes contact...

Milehighshooter, I firmly believe your 376 Steyr with the right bullet/ load will knock your listed animals through the rim of their a$$. I'm planning on a Nalgai hunt in South Texas after the first of the year using 270gr bullets and this little Scout rifle. As long as I have a good rest and...

I have had a lot of fun with my 376 Steyr Scout rifle. Nice light package with a lot of power. I know, I know, it’s not as fast as an H&H or a lot of other 375s and it will never be. I have many range/game appropriate rifles and this perfectly fills the gap between some of them. Sorta like...

That is a really cool looking bullet!!

Would like more info about the Delta, we are scheduled to take that flight 8/13

Sounds like a great choice in rifle and caliber.

This is a very interesting topic for me and my comments are for M70 CRF actions only. The majority of my hunting rifles are M70 Controlled Round Feed actions and they make the most since to me. They positively control the round both in feeding from the magazine and extraction. In a dangerous...

Two great hunting bullets you have chosen Quaticman. I'm working with a new to me rifle/caliber for our planes game hunt this summer. It's a 338 win mag that started life as an old M70 Laredo 7 mag. Had it re-barreled with a Benchmark barrel with the intent of using Barnes 225gr TTSX. Really...

Got to love them Winchesters!!

It was Zimbabwe near Lake Kariba. We were actually hunting on peninsula that was surrounded by the lake.

008, My 376 is a Steyr Scout with a VX-6 1 X 6 mounted over the bolt. It shoots really well with Factory 270 gr but my hunting load is a 300 gr TSX at a solid 2300 fps loaded with H-4895. This rifle will hold +-1 ¼” groups at 100 yards, some times better. I figure I would most likely limit...

The .416 cal. 400 gr Swift A-Frame @ 2375 fps is a spectacular bullet also. Recovered on the off side arm pit after taking out both lungs at around 120 yards.

NM Elk 17 I really like TSX bullets so far, no performance issues to report. Have used them to take a few critters over the years from TX, NM to Zimbabwe. 300 WSM to 376 Steyr. FN/Win M70 PBR 24” 185 yards, 1 shot and done. 300 WSM-168 TSX @ 3120 FPS 68 gr. H-4350 new FC case

Thank you BRICKBURN, Being new to this forum I didn't want to be the cause of controversy about trophy pictures and asked for the original to be removed. I replaced it with the current one.

OK guys, here is a more common type photo that shows me and my lovely wife after this wonderful bull was taken. She was with me step for step for the entire 10 days. Thanks to Brian Van Blerk for successfully guiding us to success.

Locally here in Texas(Houston area) there are more rifle powders available, pistol powder is still very scarce. I received a case of H4895 from Grafs a couple weeks ago. It was my favorite for several calibers before I switched to Varget. It's on it's way to being my favorite again!!

Double lung shot it was, we were on a rocky hill about 30 feet higher than the Buff. The scouts and trackers had driven them several miles toward us from one end of a peninsula that extended out into lake Kariba, they came right in the middle of the narrow end that joined the mainland. They...

I think the fix is in!! the m70 functioned flawlessly today. The dreaded last round of death has disappeared. I shot off the sticks and smacked a steel plate at 140 yrds then quickly shot a paper target off hand at 70yrds then as fast as I could fire on a target at 25yrds with good results...

I sense a sigh of relief.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!! Tomorrow will be the first live fire test, I must admit I have been awakened in a cold sweat more than once but am confident things are going to be just fine. Report to follow. hgr2

OK Guys, here’s the latest. After much research I called the guys over at Sunny Hill Bottom Metal and had them send me an oversized custom follower they make. The hump in the middle of the follower Is closer to the ejection port side than the factory follower. It‘s a really nice part that has...

OK guys, the 458 mag box was a bust!! I should have researched the length between the 416 and 458 before ordering the box. There is a spacer in the back of the box I received making it too short for 416 rds and my follower wont work either. I did find another mag spring that seems to be a...

Thanks for the responses guys. I have been studying this situation and have consulted with a couple Winchester guys and have placed an order for a 458 magazine box. Not exactly sure what the dimentional differences are yet but I'm expecting not to see the dimples on each side of the existing...

Thanks Phill, It seems that there are few here that have been effected by this malady.(I’m really lucky this way) I hope to make a good shot that will require no follow up The hunt will go on nonetheless and will be waiting for advise from the members here. Thanks, hgr2

Been working with my M70 Safari Express 416 at my practice range for an upcoming Buff hunt in Zimbabwe this August and have started to have some troubling events occur. While working the bolt at rapid speeds, sometimes one or more of the rounds in the magazine will just eject themselves while...

OK Folks, Our hunt is scheduled to start 8/11/14 and not a minute too soon! Switched to 400gr Swifts and my fickle chrono actually worked today. 78gr of Varget is averaging 2304fps, I bet that will let the air out of a Cape Buffalo. Still about 1.5MOA from the bench, and it will wear on me but...

Range report, I will spare all the negative comments about my CED m2 chronograph and just say that it only picked up 1 out of 10 .416 shots today. It worked fine on several other loads I have been working on then refused to work on the 416 all but once. This M70 Safari Express is going to be a...

Thanks for the reply, I am going to chrono the few rounds I have loaded so far and try your method on a few more. I had a similar problem with 300gr TSX in .376 Steyr but not to this extreme. I think I will also give the Swift A-frame a try because it should take up less room in the case for the...

Hello AH.com members. As you can see I'm new here and have a .416 Rem Mag reloading question using 400gr Barns TSX and Varget powder. I got load data from Barns and am attempting to use 75 grains of Varget with this bullet and seat them to 3.590 as they recommend. After seating these bullets to...
