There are only 4 African calibres - for want of a better term - that I have lusted after. The 375H&H, 416 Rigby, 404J and the 505 Gibbs. I have the first two so don't see myself picking up a 404J and the recoil of the 416R is about my limit so do not, apart from cost, see myself acquiring the latter, though it would be good to have one and those Heym's sure look good.

FYI, there was a great review by Phil Massaro in GunDigest 2017 (71st Ed.) of a Heym Express rifle in .404 Jeffery.

Heym let him take it to Africa for a work-out where it accounted for a bull elephant, a Buff, and numerous plains game. Massaro used a mix of factory ammo and handloads during the safari. When he returned to the states, he promptly sent Heym a check for the rifle because he liked it so much.

For .404 fans, or for anyone just interested in the Heym Express rifle, I can highly recommend Massaro's article, which also discusses the .404 cartridge in depth. Great pictures too.
