Ok , I have scoured to find some brass. AND I did. I’m not telling you it’s the best, definitely not the cheapest , or whatever. So I had rather not have the commentary. But if you are looking for 404 Jeffery brass, kynoch in England has some. Bertram USA, may still have some. They emailed me...

That is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I really been considering one. Relatively inexpensive. And look great. How do you like it so far ?

Really nice.

That right there is nice.

Are you sure it's a 500 jeffery, wondering how that could be possible He said it was. Lots of machine work to make the rebated rim feed. It was Ian Sweetman.

I bought 150 from a couple guys. I think that will get me started. Thanks.

Y Yep I emailed him. He was really nice. Referred me to a guy in the states.

TTT

Looking to find some 200 grain Nosler partitions. .308 caliber. If you know where I might find some hollar at me. Thanks a bunch.

Just saw where a guy in the UK is building a 500 Jeffery on a Mauser action. Is the 500 Jeff just a necked up 404? And how does it compare to the say, 500 NE? I told him I wanted one. Haha. Left handed! I’m think Zastava action. What say y’all?

I got some new never loaded brass of you need it. And some once fired. Not sure on number.

I finally got a set of Redding. Took 6 months but I got them. Thanks for letting me know. They will sell on here quickly.

Sorry I don’t know a lot of gunsmithing books. Over my 52 years of life all I have ever done is something to do with guns or hunting. I have read as a boy up until now and probably tomorrow , haha is something about guns. I have zero smithing experience, but I am knowledgeable as to point myself...

Haha you are the reason I got him to do it. I sent my rifle after we talked last year on a thread. To be perfectly honest , I don’t know. I am super specific on all of my custom builds but, I told him what I was going to shoot and he told me he had the barrel. I guess I should of asked more...

Honest to goodness I don’t know. I was so excited to get it. I will let you know. I’ll take some inside shots and post.

After many months being gone she has made it back. My Winchester 7mm STW has been converted into a magnificent .404 Jeffery. I handed my rifle off to Dennis Olsen last June and I got it back last week and it is a work of art to say the least. He rebarreled and chambered added sights and a...

If anyone in the US knows where a set of 404 Jeffery dies are at for sale, let me know. Thanks.

Looking for a set of 404 Jeffery dies, if anyone has any laying around they not using. PM me. Thanks

I have received a outpouring of input by this thread and private message. Thanks so much. I am going to dig in after the holidays and find a great spot. With help of you fellows of course. The amount of input has been phenomena. Again thanks.

Thanks. This helps bunches

I really am glad you put this in perspective. A lowering of the expectations may be at hand. Because I want a fair chase experience and not that of a high fence. i say that as to mean, I don’t want to take away from the experience, to fulfill a number. And break a bank trying to do it. Thanks so...

y’all fellows have pounded on me pretty good. I deserve it for expectations unobtainable. Please keep up the input. I do want to take mature animals. But the hunt is more important.

Man, that is awesome info.. thanks so much. I really , really do not want a game farm. I want a in the wild experience.

What do you think reasonable expectations are ? Thanks for your input.

Damn you beat up on a fellow.

That is exactly the info I want to hear. I have expectations... but if basically unobtainable then, I need people to tell me that. Thanks so much for your input.

yeah, exactly why I love reading the post

Hey guys and gals, I've tried to figure when I can do a safari and I think 2022 is the best time. I am wanting to hunt for kudu and Cape buffalo. I would love to go to a place where I could get a 55" kudu and 45" plus dugga boy. If plains game were offered, that would be awesome also. I would...

very nice and a reasonable price. glad I'm a lefty sometimes

Just became a member and assigned to Georgia chapter. Try to get there for the show

booked my room for DSC. I hope it is happening. I really look forward to going for the first time. Driving in from Alabama. hope to see you all there

The one I’m doing now ...... a 404 based off of a Winchester , I’m just inletting the stock for the barrel, bedding it with a new lug. I am adding cross bolts for support. I didn’t want to blow the budget on a stock yet.

Great 404. Cant wait to get mine. Yours looks like it performs well.

Which bullet did you choose for the 404? I am in the process of narrowing it down. Any info would be appreciated

Thanks guys. You fellows are all over it.

Those are one of my favorite. I have a pair of those.

How do these Courtney’s run size wise? I have a wide foot.

My area is not tied down yet. I am in the planning stages. I am wanting to do a plains game hunt with a cape buff hunt. I am figuring the areas I have looked are drier than the Caprivi. I have hiking boots ie merrell and Salomon. I just didn’t know if they were good enough. They are pretty...

First I realize there are different terrains but, overall if you fellows , would point out some of the better boots you have carried into the field. Terrain along with that type Of boot. I am looking at do I need new boots r carry what I got. do you need gore Tex? Go for lighter weight? I would...

That is a great answer I appreciate the insight.

The z6 is the top of the list now. As you all chime in it looks like a true 1x could be the way to go. Thanks for the info.

Thanks so much for the info. Talley is what I am going with. I was thinking if I done a combo hunt , and got a shot at a kudu or some other plains game while buff hunting I could take a shot. Right now swaro 6i is in the lead. I do like the Nightforce tho. Thanks for the input. It is highly valued

Actually I have. What I can tell.... the low power nf scopes do not have the finer adjustments. While the nx8 does not have covered turrets the atacr does. Unless I haven’t seen one. I wonder about the eye box. I personally think scope relief is hugely important on a heavy hitter. I do like the...

Great info. Thanks.

Love that you put that info in there. I was wondering about the reticle also. Thanks

I have done more digging and this seems to be a really all around scope. What reticle did you use?

Which brass do you use. I have found Norma and Hornady

I am looking at getting some reloading dies for my upcoming 404 Jeffery. I can find Hornady for less than 100 bucks. RCBS and Redding is double the price. Look I really like Redding but double the price seems pricy. What do and how do you feel ? What kinds are you fellows and gals running...

Update guys! I decided to scrap the push feed 404. I have a crf Winchester in magnum length action. I contacted Dennis Olsen and he is going to convert it for me. Just got a lot of the details today on cost and the like. I really appreciate you fellows pointing me the way on this project.

Guys glad you gave so many responses. It has me pointed in the right direction.
