Gun swap
      #41221 - 11/11/05 06:00 AM

Just swaped my Chapuis 470 for a FUNK Shul 400/350 rigby NE. Wondering if anyone has ammo I can buy to test this rifle. Or cases/dies to sell. I will return your empty cases if you are sending me ammo. Also any load info will be much appriciated.

It's here:

George said it is a good fit for a lefty and light recoil. Cola from stars&strips can load-up a box of ammo for about $75.00, less when I return the cases. George sold me the Chapuis and knows what he is getting in exchange.

I will be listing my 470 ammo, cases and dies shortly.

Bonanza:

US suppliers have new Kynoch in .350 No. 2, but no .400/.350. These are different loadings of the same cartridge and if your gun was regulated for 310 grain, the No. 2 won't regulate well with it

Roosevelt and Drake has original Kynoch .400/.350 listed, but I don't know how old it is. Old cordite is usually OK, but not old NC. For an evaluation shoot, since this is original ammo, I'd probably try it. They have both Kynoch and Eley Bros. listed. Get the Kynoch. Never shoot the old Eley stuff. If you try it, check the primers. If the cups are copper, they're corrosive and you'll need to flush the bores with hot water after shooting. Brass cups are non-corrosive.

For brass, I've used the Bertram .400/.350 and it was only good for two rounds. Get in touch with David Little at Kynoch, their stuff seems to be available in component form now. Horneber will also make it. Easiest to just form it from RWS 9.3X74R. This case is virtually identical to the 9.3 except for length. Woodleigh makes the correct 310 grain bullets.

Standard data for this cartridge was sometimes reported incorrectly. 43 Cordite and a 310 grain bullet for 2000 fps, not 2150.

BONANZA, I wrote you an E-mail, but I'm not sure you got it, so My e-mail is : DUGABOY1@aol.com

I need the dies, and brass you have left over from your 470Ne trade. Please E-mail me with the price you are asking for these items, and what kind of brass, and how many re-loadings, the cases have!
