I am leaving for a PG hunt in Botswana Tuesday morning, April 22. I have just been notified by the PH that there is a PAC elephant available as well. I would like to take my 404 Jeffery for the elephant, but I do not have any solids loaded, plenty of softs, but no solids. We have called a few shops in J0-Burg, and none have solids in stock. Does anyone in the Southern California area have 10 404 Jeffery solids that I can get my hands on by Monday evening? Just a shot in the dark, but if anyone does, I'd be very grateful! ______________________________ "Are you gonna pull them pistols,...or whistle Dixie??" Josie Wales 1866 | ||

404, Why dont you contact the guys at the Big Bore association maybe they can help you out. http://www.bigbore.co.za Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

Steve, You may try asking Rusty. I believe he has a 404J. and he will help you out if he can! Another possible source is Surperior Ammo...They may be able to whip you up some in a pinch. Good luck. ****************************************************************** R.

Midway or Huntingtons can overnight them. | |||

Go over to Bass Pro Shop in Rancho Cucamonga. I noticed they've got most African game cartridges. I know I saw some .500's but you might give them a call first.

Hi Guys I will, as a last resort, ask Larry on Monday morning to load some up and overnight them- which he may be able to do... BassPro is a good idea, last I was there they have 470, 458 and 416 amo, but no 404J I will keep checking- thank you! ______________________________ "Are you gonna pull them pistols,...or whistle Dixie??"
