Guys,

What primers do you recommend I use for the 500 Jeff?

I will be using Somchem S335 powder as its the only powder available in South Africa to reload the Jeff.

Thanks for the advice

Thanks Con,

I could only get CCI 250 primers here in South Africa.

Will they do the job?

Also I have a Lee Auto primer.

What number shell houlder do I need for the 500 Jeff?

The jeffe uses the same shell holder as the 416 rigby, the lapua, and all the big weatherby's...
Don't use less than 90% loading and you MUST not use slow powder with anything but fed 215
