Heym 404. Shoots 400 gr Northfork SS and CEB solids. Norma brass. Varget powder. Will be headed back to Africa to chase a lion in July.
 
Where can I order the bottom metel from? I'm in RSA.
I ordered the bottom metal from Duane Weibe. I don’t think he’s building them anymore. He’s on the forum. Might ask.

No, he's not building bottom metal. Duane told me last year he sold his patterns, jigs, etc to another guy and he still hadn't done anything with it. He referred me to Swift-Blackburn and that's where I got my 98 Mauser bottom metal.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
