Hi Guys,

reaching out to those who know a lot more than me. I am looking for a .400 size class bolt rifle that is a bit out of the ordinary.

I have considered all the logical (but more mainstream) calibers like the .416 Rigby, the 404J and even upwards. Then I found a pretty, if simple, .425WR that has grabbed my attention.

Hello friends,

Many of you have asked me for advice on gun searches as it's a bit of a hobby for me to "see what is out there" each week. I discussed this with @AfricaHunting.com and he permitted me to create a running post on the Classifieds section.

Going to africa April 2027. I have worked up loads with R-15 for an average of 2068 fps. They regulate well and shoot well. I am using open cell backer rod for filler. I have loaded imr 3031 also with foam filler. Also imr 4831. These all regulate 2 inche or less and shoot nearly to the same poi.
My question is who has reloaded with these powders and have shot them harvesting game in Africa. How was the performance did you experience any heat sensitivity?
Thanks

In line with my recent European kick I was curious if anyone on here has painted the black factory recoil pads on their rifles orange similar to the higher grade English sporting rifles? I’ve got a few wood stocked rifles with limbsavers that do a great job, but might look a bit better with a proper orange on them. Any recommendations on paint color and type is much appreciated!
