Re: .404 Jeffery, scarce or not?
CorditeCrazy, as pointed out previously, you can never mention a .300H&H Magnum in the same sentence as a 8x68S. The .300 H&H Magnum`s breath runs out at a 220 gn bullet at long range hunting /shooting, the 8x68S has just warmed up , shooting a 220 gn bullet at a 1000 meter ghong, the 8x68S then excels through to a 250 gn bullet at long distance hunting /shooting...please forget about the 300H&H Magnum with it`s high pressures , teeth rattling recoil, flinch inducing thump and buy a 8x68S the flagship of German design..

Re: .404 Jeffery, scarce or not?
A few questions
I always thought that the .416 was a RIGBY ?
As far as I understand none of these cartridges were ever black powder ? ( they all started life as Cordite )
The 375 H7H is a BELTED magnum -- the 404 Jeffery is a rebated RIMLESS cartridge
I am interested in how one forms 404 Jeffery brass from the 375 H&H ?
( There is also a 333/404 as well as a 280/404 -- once upon a time factory rounds )

Re: .404 Jeffery, scarce or not?
Many thanks Gert
I do understand about fire forming -- I was just a bit worried about the belt ( on the 375 H7H )
It would appear -- from the photos that the belt does not completely "disappear" ?
I see there are people offering once fired cases at quite a discount -- might be worth a look in ?
As far as maize / flour is concerned -- milling dust can be explosive .......
“Flour dust that is suspended in air is more explosive than coal dust," Paul Steinlage, milling manager, told Food Engineering Magazine this month. "With the number of motors we need to run the mill, we absolutely have to have the best explosion-proof motors so we feel protected.”

A favour .......
You mention in your posts a number of specialists
It would appear that there is even someone that can draw brass into cartridge cases ?
I am sure they are known to a number of posters here -- but not to everyone
Would it be possible to provide their details and contact information ...
Thanks

Hansie Minnaar, minnaarajj@gmail.com, he will draw any type of caliber`s brass for you as wel as make excellent core bonded bullets. Keep in mind after fire forming the new brass will headspace on the neck and not on the belt anymore.
