Found enough of my reloading stuff after the move and bought what I couldn't find/didn't have to load up my 404 Jeffery practice/ deer hunting loads.

300 44 magnum XTP reduced to .423 through a Corbin die loaded over 40g of 5744. Haven't chronographed it yet, but supposed to be good for 1700-1800 fps. I checked with Hornady and the bullet should be good for those velocities. Stabilizes fine out of my rifle.

Shoots like an absolute pussycat, but it is 100's of FPS faster than a 44 magnum would be with the same bullet, so it should be plenty for whitetail at the 30 yard range they present here at my house. And it is a whole lot cheaper than full house loads. I'm pretty stoked.
 
I've always thought that a .404 Jeffery wasn't enough gun for whitetail, but that is just me.... ;)

In all seriousness, that should be a lot of fun and great practice.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
