I would try to find some H4895, it's a very good powder for reduced loads. I used it a lot for practice loads in my .375 H&H.

You don't need fillers with Trail Boss, it's a very bulky powder. I'm curious why you are looking for a reduced load, the 9,3x74R is a pretty mild in the recoil department.

T.C. was originally in New Hampshire, I have no knowledge of what happened to the original machinery. I would love to see the old Fox Ridge custom shop come back but at this point I don't think it will happen.

I'll be heading to Idaho next week!

I heard a rumor that Bill Wilson was involved, I hope that it's true.

I have a breech plug for my Encore that uses small rifle primers in a cut down .25 ACP case. It works like a champ!

I would go back to Tanzania for leopard, (I already got my buffalo). I would use a .375H&H with 260 grain Accubonds. Mozambique for Suni would be next.

I appreciate the offer but my barrel is a fair bit smaller at the muzzle, if I rebarrel at some point I'll just thread the barrel and use my suppressor.

Thanks for the quick replies guys! I always use double hearing protection from the bench and at least single while hunting.

Has anyone used the Witt Machine clamp on brake and if so, how did you like it? I have a new to me XP-100R in .260 Remington that I would like to try a rifle scope on and don't particularly want to alter the factory barrel. Are there any other options out there? Thanks in advance!

I'm currently running the Harris mentioned by previous posters on my XP-100R, it seems to be inducing some vertical dispersion from the bench. I haven't shot this gun too much yet but I'm going to try it from a couple of different rests and see what happens to the groups.

It's been my experience that Starline makes pretty good brass but I have never actually sectioned a case to see if there is a difference. I don't push pressures in anything I shoot, if I think I need more performance I simply go to a larger case, it's easier on the gun and the brass both. I'm...

Mine was a 6mm Mach4, I used slower twist barrels trying to keep pressures down a little but I just couldn't get the results I was after. The Mach 4 was replaced by a 6mm/06 and a 6mm-.284. The only one still around is the 6mm-.284 and I haven't shot it in years. I was after the ultimate...

That cost me a ball joint, and I hope cost the "mechanic" who used the impact his next raise.

I have at least 3 bags of NOS Winchester .375 W and Starline makes it also. I haven't been too impressed with the EABCO brass that I have seen.
