Hello and welcome!
 
:S Welcome:
 
Hey Fenstar, welcome
 
Welcome aboard. There is a group of 500j users here. What do you have?
 
Welcome aboard. A great group of folks here with lots of experience and knowledge that they are willing to share.
 
Hello all. Beautiful site and hunting community. Looking forward to the fellowship.
Welcome to AH! This is a great community. Quite the collection of calibers you mention in the title. Care to share any hunting experience with them or any other fun facts?

I’ve never shot any of them. Biggest I’ve gone is 375HH.
 
The .500J and .404J are bothe beautiful rifles done by Wayne Jacobson, AHR. The .450NE is a Heym double. My (2) .300HH rifles and a .257Roberts are all pre-‘64 rigs, and a handful of .375’s and .458 Lotts are all Lon Paul works of art. As a farm kid, all we did was work, family/church or hunt. Blessed life for sure. Very thankful.
 
Tucson, sounds like you are from AZ- fun fact.. late great gun writer and handloading guru, G. Sitton used to drive up from Tucson to our family’s dairy farm, in Phoenix area, to shoot doves. I was fortunate enough to have G teach me how to handload. For me, the reloading and the science behind our functional works of art (our guns) is my favorite part of the hunting journey. Africa, it’s deep history, the calibers that help write the bush story.. never gets old. This site is really a classy salute to Africa!
 
Giday Fenstar and welcome to the A H forums. Something to read that may add to your 404J knowledge/love.
 
WOW!! And thank you. Any chance one called “The .500 Jeffery history and related information”? VG thanks for this link of yours… the history makes the journey better!

Indeed I am. That’s a very cool firearms history.

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!
