I'm back on the .375 bandwagon again and need to replace everything I sold when my last rifle went down the road.
My wish list is as follows:
...Dies, I want to stick with either Redding or Forster
...Brass: I would prefer to buy other than Hornady or Nosler. Good quality once-fired brass is fine.
...I would like to collect bullets in a variety of weights from 235 to 300 to get started with load development (no Hornady or Sierra's)
I would appreciate hearing about what might be sitting on your loading bench in search of a new home!
 
Not on my loading bench. But I searched on ebay this past week and pulled up a fair number of die auctions
 
I found my dies and brass but am still looking for some good hunting bullets.
 
Cutting edge … none better imho.
 
They are awesome, Just collecting odds and ends right now to see what this particular rifle likes.
 
I'd get a Hornady die set with their shellholder. I have all 3 brands and Hornady dies produce better concentricity for me and they seem smoother to operate, the inside finish of the die is visually better than Redding or Forster.
 
I hear that Hornady has really stepped up the quality of their dies, But i haven't used them for years. I found some new Reddings yesterday afternoon however.

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my request. I have found everything I need with the exception of all the hunting bullets I would like to have on hand for load development . I'm still looking for 250g- 300g bullets (Swift A-Frames, North Forks, Barnes TSX's, Woodleigh's and Accubonds).
Partial boxes are welcome and I mostly need softs but a few solids would be fine too.
Thanks to all,
Gary
 
I just haven't got the confidence in it I do in Lapua, Peterson, ADG and even Winchester in terms of life span , especially with Magnum rounds.
 
Ok thx. I had bought some and it seemed OK, thought maybe you had a bad experience.
 
The primer pockets seem to loosen up a bit faster is the main issue I seem to have noticed.
 
There was a guy on accurate shooter forum selling 300 grain woodleigh bullets. Not sure if he still has any.
 
I’ll check that out…Thanks!

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

What is the minimum you would take.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
