sounds interesting are you going to Alaska bear and moose huntng
Check out nitroexpress.com and africahunting.com pretty sure it has co e up on at least one of them.
Would be a nice thumper. Check and see if Woodleigh bullets make any in that calibre, I can't remember what exact .4 cal the 400 actually is.
Check out Stager Sports for barrels, it is bloody hard to find on their website but they are now making barrels in African calibres. Otherwise Allan Carr gunsmith is your man.
Here is a link http://www.africahunting.com/threads...9/#post-206011
And another http://www.africahunting.com/threads/400-h-h.21018/
One other thing to think about, if you are going to use re-sized 375H&H brass and take the rifle overseas then consider having the barrel labelled 416/375H&H or 400/375H&H. Some countries insist that the brass headstamp matches the rifle calibre. Not sure how many actually check though.
Bullets are .411 so 405cal its a genuine Holland & Holland round build on the 375 case H&H made it about 5 years ago. if it lands in the to hard basket i will just go with 375 H&H @sometimes no large game just a bush canon its only 2mm bigger then a 8mm mauser and the P14 wont need any tampering other then rebarrel and cambering.Quote:
