Hi gents
Any of you had any dealings with a .404 Jeffery?
i just had a look at a rifle built on a modified 98 std action.... really nice.
I always longed for a rifle in this cal, and all i need is some of you guys telling me i must do it.....
You never know when an opportunity might arise out of the blue to go and shoot a buff.......
All the best

Hey Grey...I don`t know anything really about the 404 Jeff but I think you must do it.. You never know when a Cape Buff might run through the backyard....

GS,
The 404 Jefferys is a pretty good big game cartridge.
Almost like a 416.
For the big stuff, it will work fine (as always, with good bullets, it will work fine).
