Anybody have experience using this bullet on North American big game (deer, bear, moose, elk, etc)? I have the opportunity to get some at a decent price. My rifle is a Win M70 Classic Stainless re-barrelled to 404 Jeffery. Barrel is 25" with 1/14 twist. Posted a thread about it approx 4yrs ago...

Witold would be proud of me. Picked up a ZG 47 in 9.3x62. Don't think the bolt is original though. Jeweled bolt & modified bolt shroud with wing type safety. From what I gather from CZ there a very few of these in this calibre.

Well my fellow AH enthusiasts especially those knowledgeable in the ZG 47 series of rifles, I recently picked up a ZG 47 in 7x57 with 21.5" barrel (measured from closed bolt face to muzzle). I'm being told this is a fairly rare version. I cannot find any info on the short barreled version except...

I have the opportunity of purchasing this rifle in a few months. There really isn't much info out there on this rifle especially in this calibre. Anyone have one that can enlighten me? I am familiar with the 8x68 calibre as I have BRNO 602 in 8x68 Weatherby provided some info but more is always...

Anybody have much experience with this calibre? I'm considering having one built. Why does one ask???...why not I reply. Was considering using a donor rifle (haven't decided which to use yet. Maybe something on a Remington 700 or P-17 action). I have read that it be a bit of a barrel burner...

Well it was bound to happen sooner or later! :cry:

One of these days before I get to the point of being non functional I would like to hunt Africa. Here is my dilemma....I have too many choices of rifle. I want to hug them all and bring them all but that would be most silly and expensive. Hunt choice would be a plains game safari, and then a...

I have a line on a BRNO ZKK 601 in 243 Win. Date of Mfg is 1978. It still has the pop up peep sight. Overall it's in decent shape. The challenge is the barrel crown. It's a straight cut crown. I've never seen this type of crown before on a BRNO. I haven't seen a BRNO with a pop up rear peep...

I'd like to introduce BRNO 600. She arrived as 7lbs 2oz and her cal is 7x57 and is very spunky! Her brothers and sisters (.223, 8x68S, 375H&H & 458 Lott) are excited about the new arrival. Seriously though this is one pretty rifle. The wood is beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice...

Somebody had some money to burn. These two beauties just sold at an auction in the middle of nowhere in Ontario. http://www.icollector.com/HOLLAND-HOLLAND-MODEL-BEST-QUALITY-BOLT-ACTION-MAGAZINE-RIFLE-CALIBER-375-H-H-MAG_i24524247...

I thought this would be a nice thread to start. Some people like the thrill of the hunt, others enjoy the work that was put into the hunt, others hopefully enjoy a successful harvest. My enjoyment personally is sitting in the bush and listening to nature do it's "thing". Sometimes there is no...

I was looking at adding a 358 Norma Mag to my "herd of anti meanie devices". Kinda liked that calibre for a number of years just couldn't find something to my liking. Seen a few used here and there. The nice ones were a bit pricy which was deserved as they were.....well...NICE! Looked at a...

Not sure where to put this. I guess it's hunting. Good thing to have "buddies". Buff ragdolls this croc. Looks like croc has puncture mark from the horn at end of video.

I have 2 that I can think of at the moment. #1 Many years ago when I was new to the reloading game I proudly loaded up some 30 cal 150gr Spire Points. Had them all measured perfectly everything was good........well not exactly. Here comes the flaw I took the rifle and ammo to the range. Got...

Thought you guys might get a kick (sorry for the play on words) out of this. Shooting a BRNO 602 458 Lott offhand for the first time ever. Never owned one before. Shooting 416 Rigby offhand I have a video of me shooting the my 450 Rigby offhand but it's a bit embarrassing as I had a major...

Not sure if this was posted before...didn't see it listed. Good article South Africa has 500 reasons not to poach in the Kruger Posted on: 10/18/15 Established in 1898, the Kruger National Park (KNP) in South Africa encompasses over 7,523 sq. mi of area, making it one of the largest...

Hey guys and gals Looking for reduced loads for 458 Lott using cast (lead) bullets. Rifle is made by Montana arms. 24" bbl 1/14 twist. Looked through some of the previous posts about 458 Lott but didn't see anything really about reduced loads. Located in Canada. Have a 465gr bullet mold on...

Man this is one beautiful work of art. Even those who shoot rifle will have the opportunity to drool over this. My hunting partner whom I've know for 30+ yrs has this in his collection and he is willing to sell it. It is an original unfired Holland & Holland 12ga (certified new as per Holland &...

Target results using .423cal 400gr Woodleigh RN Weldcore bullets. Had to use plastic coroplast target as it was raining/snowing and very windy. Left square is three rounds (0.50"). Two almost through same hole. Load 77.8gr IMR4350 Fed 215 primers, Hornady case. 3 shot avg velocity over a...

Not sure if anyone has seen this so I thought I would post it. COUNTERFEIT PRODUCT ALERT We have learned that counterfeit ZEISS products are being sold on eBay by ebay sellers “bestofferwatch” and “sportpolar” (items shipped from Singapore). Please be advised that the following products are not...

Already have an Interarms Mark X (Manchester, England) in 7x57 but couldn't pass this up. It's mint and never been fired. Awesome deal.

Just gorgeous! Nice to see that Rigby is back in the UK.

Interesting story about the illegal poaching of ivory. http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/gps-in-fake-tusks-tracks-ivory-poaching-to-terrorists/ar-BBm5uTl?li=AA59G3&ocid=HPCDHP

Well after almost a year of waiting I have my first "custom" rifle. Nothing fancy but hey it's a 404! Built on a 375H&H Model 70 Win action. 25" PacNor Match grade barrel with a 1/14 twist, and target crown. Barrel wrap front sight, barrel band for the sling. Used the rear sight off the donor...

I have had several suggestions as to how to refinish a stock that I have. I will be using boiled linseed oil. The stock I have is off of an old BRNO ZKK 601 in .223 Rem. I'm not the original owner and it's really hard to tell due to the age of the stock if it has been refinished or not. The...

I got a really good deal on a Synthetic 300 Weatherby VG2 and was anxious to try it out at the range. I put a Zeiss HD5 2-10x42 Z-600 on it with Talley mounts. After a bit of range time I was able to get a 4 shot grouping just under 0.50" I shoot 4 shot strings as I have a tendency to screw...

Well I finally got to shoot my CZ 550 416 Rigby at a range after it sitting in a box for 15 years! After I got it sighted in I shot a 4 shot group off the bench at 100yds. The ammo was a box of Federal 400gr somethings that I bought with the rifle also 15 years ago! I think I had to mortgage my...

I have some 450 Nitro Bell Basic brass that a friend gave me. I was going to form it into 404 Jeffery brass. Does anyone one know if I will run into problems just running it through the sizing die after trimming it, or do I need a case forming die? Thx

Looking for 404 Jeffery reloadable brass. Preferably RWS but will take Norma. I have relatives in the US so US residents can respond as I can have it sent to them.

Sorry I can't remember if it was this site or another as I belong to quite a few. I remember reading about someone looking for info on the 550 Mag. Anyway I found a Facebook page that is pretty much dedicated to it. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/550Magnum Hope this helps someone...

I has me a CZ 550 in 450 Rigby. It's great to shoot. Quite accurate. It's tough to find reloading data for though. I'm a bit surprised that Hornady hasn't added it to their recent reloading manuals. It's been around along time. I'm looking to see if anyone has any additional reloading data...

Anybody; especially PH's or Game Wardens, have any experience with using these type of sights on bolt action dangerous game rifles? (As I have indicated in previous posts I'm having a 404 Jeff built on a Stainless Win 70 375H&H barreled action.) I have seen them on doubles but rarely on bolt...

Looking for suggestions as to what scope to put on a 404 Jeffery I'm having built. It is being built on a stainless Winchester Model 70 donor barreled action in 375H&H. I was thinking about something along the lines of a 1-4x20 with German #4 post reticle, or a red dot holographic sight of some...
