Gentelmen,

My apologies to those taking exception to my placing the 404 Jeffery in a "slightly"lesser status.I am very well aquainted with the 404 Jeffery.I have loaded it,I know it's handloading potential and I'm very aware of it's history in Africa.You are therefore....preaching to the choir.

When I was trying to convey the standards of semi-heavies,I was attempting to give one a general idea.As you know,the original 404 Jeffery specs are approximately 2100 fps with 400 grains.This is in a general class of heavy-medium rifles.When I refer to a caliber,I refer to it's more standard load,not it's handloading potential.
