I make cartridge display board and some of them contain many Dangerous Game/Safari cartridges. Brass can be very hard to find for many of them. Quite often I have to use fired brass when new is not available. I really dislike super gluing the bullets into the case. It's just un-professional.
What is the max case length I can size and seat in my RCBS RC IV? I'm sure a 3" case will be fine, but I have a few 3.25" cartridges I'm not sure about. I've heard of guys seating bullets then removing the die to be able to tip the cartridge to get it out of the press. The cases in question are the 500/416 and 500/465. If I can make it work with my press, I'll continue the search for dies.
Thanx
Curtis

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
