Heym 404. Shoots 400 gr Northfork SS and CEB solids. Norma brass. Varget powder. Will be headed back to Africa to chase a lion in July.
 
Where can I order the bottom metel from? I'm in RSA.
I ordered the bottom metal from Duane Weibe. I don’t think he’s building them anymore. He’s on the forum. Might ask.

No, he's not building bottom metal. Duane told me last year he sold his patterns, jigs, etc to another guy and he still hadn't done anything with it. He referred me to Swift-Blackburn and that's where I got my 98 Mauser bottom metal.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
