Hi Guys

I have been looking several days now to find some proper cleaning equipment for the .404 Jeffery.
Obviously it's not that easy in Europe to find nylon brushes or a matching patch holder in .423...

All I found was a BoreSnake for .416 to .460 and a bronze brush.
I didn't find snap caps either...

Did I miss something or is it really that hard to find such an equipment (at least in Europe)... ?

Please help, if you know where to get such stuff :)
 
I use a plastic coated Parker Hale cleaning rod, matching tip and .44 caliber bronze and nylon brushes.

I agree with Mike, I don't think I have ever seen brushes specific to the 404, just use 44 cal brushes and a jag made for the 44 Mag pistol round, bore is actually .429 not .44.

I've got the Tipton brush and jag sets along with the single carbon fiber rod. Like others have said I use the 416 diameter.
 
I did look for brushes and jags specific to the 404 Jeffery, but found none from any manufacturer. You MIGHT do better looking in the UK. The .429" equipment work just fine on my .404. No ideas on snap caps.

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!
