    New "classic" .318 Westley Richards?

    I had one build on a ZG47. Special reamer ordered Dies set from CH4D I managed to collect a fair amount of Bertram brass and it’s easy to make your own from 30-06 Bullets from woodleigh and some bullets made in SA. It’s Fine rifle perfect for Bushveld hunting.

    RCBS deprimer pin...and Bertram brass

    I had exactly the same problem with my .318 Bertram Brass. The flashole sizes are different from case to case, a frustration but beggars can't be choosers. But a quality problem at Bertram. I end up using my pin from my RCBS 9,3x62 dies. Worked on most, but not all cases. Had to trim a pin down...

    .404 Jeffery - To Scope or Not to Scope?

    Not an expert at all. But don't think anyone has asked where you plan for the hunt to take place. If it is the swamps of Mazombué or an Eastern Cape Buffalo hunt then I would definitely prefer a scope. Even in a think bush environment I personally think one will give up more shots using open...

    Woodleigh Hydro for buffalo?

    I have hunted two Buffalo with my 9,3x62. The Hydro is an amazing bullet. Really liked them. I had some in my ammo belt if needed. My rifle was loaded with Swift A Frames, I never needed the Hydro. If the situation is there to use the Hydro then you can use them, but they penetrate deep, I...

    .416 Rigby & 9.3x62 suggestions and considerations

    I like using Norma 203B in my 9,3x62. My loads are around 2300 fps with a 286gr A Frame. I personally don't see the need for more fps that one can get from R17.

    Holland and Holland Ruger #1

    Good looking Rifle. At 7lb is a "light" rifle for a big bore in a No 1. a Normal Tropical like the 416 Rigby weigh around 9lb. The 450/400 is 7,75lb and pretty much the perfect calibre combination for the Ruger no 1

    Granite Mountain Arms .404 Jeffery - Range Report

    Wow, a good-looking rifle and great setup. I had the same results with 82.0gr H4340 My Swift A frames and Woodleigh Hydro shooting at the same point of impact. The Hydro's cutting one another. Getting the same results with my 9,3 x 62 using the same combo. Enjoy the rifle and take it hunting

    300 H&H Update

    Doug the 300 H&H in a No 1 is a perfect setup I have also struggled with mine to get a smaller grouping but made peace with it. Its a hunting rifle Mine liked 200gr Accubonds, as a hunting round I prefer the Woodleigh 200gr PP. Have recently bought 200gr A-Frames and will be happy with a 1.5"...

    Finished my 318 WR

    RDog Nice looking rifle and a fine caliber. Do you know what make the reamer was that used and just from the photo it looks like the COL is a little bit shorter the the Original. Did you seat the woodleigh bullets deeper past the crimping groove.
