    Reloading data peregrine VRG3 350gr for .404 Jeffery

    Hi Has anyone already reloaded the peregrine VRG3 350gr for the .404 Jeffery? If so, could you please share your wisdom :) I can't find any info on their website for the .404... I managed to grab 75 pieces of them, seemed a good opportunity as long as Barnes is not available here in...

    Has anyone built a custom .375 H&H rifle based on a MRC 1999 PH action?

    Hi It might be possible that I could grab a new MRC 1999 PH action. Do you think building a .375 (probably a H&H or a .376 Steyr, just for the Austrian flair) is a good way of using that action? I already own a .404 Jeffery, which is a) the top level of my personal recoil tolerance and b)...

    Hi Guys I have been looking several days now to find some proper cleaning equipment for the .404 Jeffery. Obviously it's not that easy in Europe to find nylon brushes or a matching patch holder in .423... All I found was a BoreSnake for .416 to .460 and a bronze brush. I didn't find snap caps...

    .404 Jeffery - a long awaited call...

    I still can't believe it, but my gunsmith gave me a call today. The new built .404 Jeffery seems to be ready for our first date tomorrow... The Barnes TSX bullets also arrived today, so it hopefully won't take long to test out the new beauty. I guess her name will be "Helena", just because all...
