Hi Dave, Yes, mine regulates right at about 107.0gr of IMR-4831 which gives me 2,150fps on the nose. It was regulated at the factory with Norma PH ammo. I'm not sure if one can specify what velocity they would like for their rifle to be regulated to but I am sure Ken could tell you. I would think if one was ordering a bespoke rifle however, that you could ask for whatever weight and regulation specifics you would like. There is a fellow on here who PMed me that he is having VC build him a bespoke .577 NE. You might ask him, I sent you a PM with his name. Sorry, I don't know what an H&H filet is. | |||

They're not mine, but they are fun to look at. These are from Bill Jones' collection. I'm holding the "famous" 700 that's been featured on Tracks Across Africa. Who knew there were so many fine rifles in Alabama. YALL probably thought we were all about lever action 30-30s and 12 bores shooting buckshot. Enjoy. Will J. Parks, III | |||

That is a beautiful little rifle. I have a 450-400 3 1/4" Boswell cica 1905 that is a joy to shoot. I am thinking about leaving my .375 H&H and bringing the Boswell as my "light" (or little) rifle this year. It has no scope but I am confident with it out to 100+ yards. Plus my wife will have her 7 by 57 and she could take the long shots. | |||

A friend up here in Anchrage has one in the same calibre as well. Just picked it up a month or so ago.

And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

GarBy, No sweat, I TRIED to buy a Demas 450-400 from some guy I meet in a safari camp far far away and long long ago. You have a Mark Sullivan book? Nganga Formerly "Nganga" | |||

Problem with that 450-400, my good man, is that you stand on the wrong side of the stock! Shhhhhhhhh........please don't mention the book. It was delivered to my house by mistake....I just look at the pictures but don't read the articles....er wait...or was that Playboy....I forget. Gary DRSS NRA Lifer SCI DSC | |||

Everyone of you guys, suck. Thanks for getting me in trouble with the ol' lady. She caught me looking at "porn" again last night. I heard the feared line of, "why don't you look at me like that?" To which I smarted back with "if you were as useful as some of these pieces of equipment, I might." The doctor said the swelling should go down in a couple of days and that you can hardly notice the lump on the back of my head from the frying pan. All kidding aside, 1. I love threads like this and 2. the girlfriend said she would rather me have one of these "gorgeous ladies" then a piece of stange. I love this girl for reasons just like that. Safe travels and good adventure with the "gorgeous ladies." Their elegance is only surpassed by their usefulness. A school teacher with champagne tastes, and a beer pocket book. | |||

Great video! Funny how we don't here the usual anti French vitriol! Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

Great post, Thanks. My wife doesn't know about most of my really nice stuff. They all sort of get lost in plain sight in the gun safe. When I put my .50BMG in there she noticed that one!!! Nganga Formerly "Nganga" | |||
