I have a problem with the Larry Willis collet die and my 400 H&H. I think it’s because the reamer I had made for the 400 H&H is made to create a base diameter on the cartridge of .514 (I have a copy of the plans). I use the collet die on a 7mm Mag and 308 Norma Mag. But when I try to use it on the 400 H&H it jams. The base diameter of a 375 H&H is 0.513 and this small variance is the only thing I can figure could be the issue. The resized brass chamber’s fine in the rifle without using the collet. And the fire formed/resized 400 H&H case is 0.514. I am posting this for general interest but if anyone has any other ideas I am all ears.

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

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.
