Re: One thought on the 404 Jeff
OK, I have now sent Woodleigh a mail in this subject

How about you?

I will not make the difference myself!

358 Norma,
There is another alternative to Woodleigh.s:
Ken Stewart of South Africa!
I have some nice 425gr bullets made of him for my .404 Rimless Nitro Express but also 300 and 325gr bullets for my 9,3x63 Miller & Val. Greiss.

He can make 450gr or even 475gr bullets for your .404 if you wish. Prices for these custom made thick jacketed bonded bullets are lesser than standard Woodleigh.s. Stewart bullets has an impressive reputation in RSA.

You will see the bullets in a future issue of "Vapentidningen" and they will be imported to Sweden by a fellow of me.

Many older 404s have 1-16 twist. I have ben told some are even slower. That may be a problem with a 450 grain bullet. Before getting someone to make a lot of them check Your twits

Also CALL HORNADY AND ASK!! They have talked about it a few times, and with some customer requests, they will make the brass and the bullets (400 gr)

Where can one obtain Stewart Bullets. I have a .404 being built although it will be a while coming (slow project so to speak).
