Hi all, my CZ 375 H&H Safari Classic is at Ed Plummer's shop getting his CZ #1 Upgrade and I told him about my eventual desire to have it rebarreled to a 470 Capstick. He just happens to have a 500 Jeffery barrel around and I can have my CZ converted pretty reasonably. What's your advice? I know the brass is expensive and they can be tricky as far as making them feed reliably.

Thanks,
Chuck

The 500 Jeff is far more powerful than a 470 Cap.

If you are serious about big bore power, it is a serious big bore that has lots of power.

Good for Elephant and Buffalo. It will knock the crap out of whatever you shoot it at.

Nice big bore cartridge.
