I make cartridge display board and some of them contain many Dangerous Game/Safari cartridges. Brass can be very hard to find for many of them. Quite often I have to use fired brass when new is not available. I really dislike super gluing the bullets into the case. It's just un-professional.
What is the max case length I can size and seat in my RCBS RC IV? I'm sure a 3" case will be fine, but I have a few 3.25" cartridges I'm not sure about. I've heard of guys seating bullets then removing the die to be able to tip the cartridge to get it out of the press. The cases in question are the 500/416 and 500/465. If I can make it work with my press, I'll continue the search for dies.
Thanx
Curtis

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…

Best,

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
