Hello, I'm about to buy a Westley Richards double in 476 W&R with some new AND old Kynoch ammo but I have some questions...
1- DIES: I don't have a set of dies for this cartridge and the manufacturer has a lead time of 24 months!! So, if anyone knows where to buy an in stock set of dies or anyone has a set and wants to part with it, I'll appreciate the information.
2- CASES: Where to find some...? Can they be made from 470 Nitro cases? The 470 Nitro case rim is thinner so, I don't know if it'll headspace correctly with those.
3-BULLETS: Would .474 Hornady or .475 Speer bullets work for this caliber? Just to shoot it for fun, as I have the Kynochs for serious use.

Thank you all in advance for any info on this subjects.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
