DLS.416 Hoffman
Does anyone know of a good source where I can purchase properly head stamped brass for my .416 Hoffman?
Thanks, in advance, for any help.

buckstixIf you find some 416 headstamped brass, I'd like some also.

buckstixLike so many other calibers, Quality Cartridge doesn't have any 416 Hoffman brass in stock, and won't run any until they get orders for over 1000 pcs. I've got a dozen calibers I need, that they list, but don't have.

This is the time to get 500 AccRel. Quality finally ran a batch. Most practical .510" there is, from elephant to mouse.

470EvansWhen I purchased my 416 Hoffman I bought brass from A-Square, don't think they produce it any longer.
I no longer have the rifle or the brass but it wouldn't be too difficult to find enough owners to get a 1000 piece order together.

RIPQuality Cartridge owned by Peter Cardona provides a wonderful service to humanity.
Even .395 Tatanka and 500 Mbogo brass are available at Quality Cartridge.

DLSThanks guys, I appreciate the information.
If enough other guys are interested, I'd go in on an order of 1,000 cases. I was thinking I'd like to get 100, but 200 wouldn't be out of the question. That'd be plenty for my lifetime.

AtkinsonI know George Hoffman made Hoffman cases out of 8mm Rem mag or 416 cases as I recall, I never had any trouble with African customs with and wildcat if that's an issure..Seems to be a created issue by some gun scribe that said it must be so..Not even the ones that could read gave me any trouble.
