A 400 grain brass solid for the .404 Jeffery, sold twenty to the box because nobody burns through .404 solids the way they do .30 caliber match bullets. The .423 inch diameter belongs to the .404 Jeffery, and Cutting Edge makes this bullet for that cartridge specifically.
How the Safari Solid is built
Cutting Edge machines the Safari Solid from brass on a lathe, so it is one piece of metal with no jacket to separate and no core to deform. The shank carries a 3 plus 1 band configuration, which reduces the bearing surface in the bore and eases barrel strain compared with a full diameter shank of the same length. The nose is Cutting Edge’s 67 percent meplat BBW number 13 profile, the shape their testing found gave the deepest penetration of anything they tried. A flat, wide meplat like that also tends to track straighter through heavy tissue than a round nose does.
If you shoot a .404, this is a modern non expanding bullet in a diameter that not many makers still cut, and the twenty count is the right amount to work up a load and take a hunt’s worth along.
