Great post.

We are fortunate here in Australia as we can easily buy Woodleigh projectiles and Bertram cases. Although I have had better luck with Norma brass in my 375 Flanged Mag and the older Bertram 500/450 3 1/4" brass is too thick in the neck for the H&H without being reamed, the new stuff being just right!

When I started with nitro stuff some thirty years ago it was a different story and I am sure that limited my purchases. The 404J was reasonably easy with relatively cheap RWS factory ammo (a lot hotter than the old Kynoch stuff) and locally made reloading dies. I think I must have used RWS projectiles, I can't remember now. The 12 bore WR Explora (WR equivalent of the H&H Paradox) was problematical, but someone provided brass cases and lead bullets, and of course shotgun ammo was easily available.

Postman, do you have a Big Game Rifle Club there? If you do and can get to one, there is a wealth of knowledge and usually a source of components. I know I have benefitted from advice from some of the Qld BGRC members, especially Graeme Wright.

I just need to get out and shoot more! Here in the state of NSW, almost all ranges have a caliber limit of 8mm, not so in Qld. The nearest for me is about 4hrs drive unfortunately.

Cheers, Chris
