The .404 Jeffery is a classic large-calibre rifle cartridge developed in 1905 by W.J. Jeffery & Co. in London, originally designed for dangerous game hunting in Africa. Renowned for its excellent balance of power, penetration, and manageable recoil, the .404 Jeffery quickly earned a reputation as one of the most effective cartridges for taking heavy game such as buffalo and elephant.
Typically firing a 400-grain bullet at moderate velocity, the cartridge delivers deep, straight-line penetration with reliable stopping performance. Its relatively low operating pressure and smooth feeding characteristics also made it a favourite among professional hunters who valued absolute reliability in harsh conditions.
Today, the .404 Jeffery remains highly respected among big-game hunters and classic rifle enthusiasts, prized for its heritage, field-proven effectiveness, and authoritative on-game performance.
