I haven't seen a posting from Bwana-B in a while. Anyone have a handle on him? Did he get his 358X404? Kind a miss him. roger

Hey!
Right here, bro!
Got those 300g-ers sitting right in front of me waiting.
I have a .350" sizing die on order from Lee, gonna try some paper patching with them.
I hope I don't love them, 'cause I only got 100!
My gun is still at the smith's, but it's coming along. I'm not helping the matter by deciding last minute to put on a better recoil pad.
After shooting a bunch of 300g 375 H&H loads over the bench during X-mas vacation, I decided it was worth the money and wait. I haven't bugged him (John Ricks) in a while, but I bet it's almost ready for the bluing salts. As soon as I get it I'll let everyone know how it shoots.
I've got a stash of 225, 250 and 280 grain bullets lined up, and a box of heavy North Forks are in the near future, throw these cast bullets in there, and I have my work cut out for me.
Happy New Year to you, BTW.
