Planning out a 10.75X68 build

I’m in! I bought a Ken Owen build of a 10.75x68 Mauser. Not an old gun or a collector but a nice rifle none the less. Krieger 24” on a commercial action. I have 2 boxes of loaded Ammo, an additional 56 brass and 210 bullets from 300-400 gr. Mostly woody 350s. Dies also. I’m looking forward to working up loads to match the old school 404 Jeffery ballistics If I can safely get there. Looking for advice on an appropriate 400 gr solid. Pic to follow.

Congratulations! I was tempted by that one myself

Hey mate,
How are you?
Have really enjoyed reading your thread on the 416WSM... really good stuff!
Hey, I noticed that you were at the SSAA Eagle Park range... where about in Australia are you?
Just asking because l'm based in Geelong and l frequent Eagle Park a bit too.
Next time your down, let me know if you want to catch up and say hi (y)
Take care bud

may I suggest Intaba Safaris in the East Cape by Port Elizabeth, Eugene is a great guy, 2 of us will be there April 6th to April 14th. he does cull hunts(that's what I am doing) and if you go to his web site he is and offering daily fees of 200.00 and good cull prices. Thanks Jim
Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
