Hello thumper15,
And, welcome to the best forum in the world.
African rifles and cartridges ?
Well then, you have come to the right place.
Cheers,
Velo Dog.
PS:
I spent most of my money on proper rifles and big game hunting.
The rest I just wasted.

Thumper 15, welcome aboard. Is there a specific thought or reason for wanting to find out about "big bores?" Do you have any thoughts or plans to hunt Africa? What do you consider a "big bore?" What species of game are you thinking about taking with it? What is the largest caliber you've ever fired? Do you reload? Your InterArms Mark X with a magnum bolt face may handle a 404 Jeffery. I'm not a gunsmith but others on this site can tell you for sure. Do you barrel actions yourself, or have someone do it for you? If someone else does, you might ask him what your options and associated costs are. Depending on your skill set and or the size of your wallet, you can do a lot with a K 98 action. You might redirect your question concerning the three actions you have to the Gunsmithing Forum on AH. One thing for sure, you'll get a lot of options.

Thanks guys,
Shootist43; My thoughts has always been one of interest and reason has always been to have a few.
Have always thought about africa and a desire to hunt there, as far as species mainly plains game but a buffalo
would be the only goal if going for dangerous game.
Largest I've fired were 338 and 375 Blackmesa Express, which are full length 404 cases necked to both calibers
basically RUMs but were before remington came out with them.
As far as smithing I can do pretty much everything but lathe work as I don't have one yet.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.
Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?
Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
