    Building a 404 J

    I’ve only worked on 400gn pills with adi powder( 84 gn 2209) gumpy, I have some 360gn Atomic29 projectiles (high quality Australian made cnc turned copper projectiles) that I haven’t done much with yet, I wanted to finish my 8x68 off and then the wife got really sick so everything went sideways...

    What's the next cartridge your looking to add to your collection and what role will it fill?

    I want a 275 rigby ( you shoot a better class of animal with a rigby than with a boring 7x57) because I have the barrel, sights, stock blank and bottom metal already, just need a receiver, it will be the backup rifle for my 308 for deer, may even lower my standards and use it on pigs and...

    Just put my 404 on the scales, 4.73kg(10.4 lb) empty with a 4x weaver steel tube scope. I started with a Peruvian standard m98 action which I did a considerable amount of work on before I even touched the feed rails, moving the bolt stop, milling out the back of the receiver and then the front...

    404 Jeffery Caliber

    I built my 404 on a standard 98 Mauser action, it’s a 3+1 with a modified'09 bottom metal, took a while for me to do, partly as I wasn’t in a hurry, but mostly because work kept getting in the way of the important things in life, such as my gun work. I sourced brass through Anthony George off...
