Mills, If I may offer a thought; If you were led to believe the gun was a .375 H&H Magnum, if it were me, I would return the gun. However popular some non-factory wildcats are, their appeal is spotty, and not one actively sought out by the general shooter.

The other thing to consider is hand loading, and whether you want to invest the time, effort and expense in loading so few cartridges.
Also, consider that some air lines, especially overseas, have restrictions on traveling with ammo. You may find yourself in the ideal location, and your ammo isn't available.

Undisclosed modifications aren't always a deal breaker. I bought a BRNO hornet to rekindle a childhood memory, only to find out it had been modified to Harvey Kilborn's version, the .22 K Hornet. It happens to be an easy one to reload, and dies, and brass were readily available, and it's everything a Hornet was, and more.
