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.

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
I am currently in Northern Cape scouting a hunting area, we will have lots of amazing hunting opportunities for 2027! I will post updated available dates soon!
