Hello Brian, my 577 Nitro is a V/C boxlock with 26" barrels, both Barnes 750gr TSX and Banded flat nosed solids run an average of 2076 fps over the Garmin in Jamison brass, FED-215 primers and H-4350 powder, no fillers, cotton balls etc. These bullets are long enough that they sit over a...

Another more than satisfied 577 Nitro user here, couple quick stories. Hippo bull 18 yards broadside, face in grass feeding, slammed him in the shoulders with 750gr TSX, he dropped, quickly moved left, gave him an insurance shot in the forehead triangle with 750gr Barnes flat nosed solid, the...

I have only hunted eland one time, hit a giant blue grey bull on the right hip bedded at 60 yards with a 50-90 Sharps rifle and a 750gr flat nosed grease groove bullet I cast myself with 12/1 alloy, the skinners handed me the bullet from his left shoulder, he never moved after the shot save him...

Daniel Carey, beautiful rifle you have there too Sir, pretty much a .com dummy retired and just hanging out at the farm in Oklahoma, you can PM me a cell number and I'd be glad to send you some pics, you can post em up here if you wish or look them over for yourself.

In preparation for a 2020 Tanzanian Safari with Buffalo and Hippo bull on dry land on quota, I took my V/C 577 Nitro in for a checkup, I asked about the durability of the build, a very well known double rifle builder told me it would kick both of us into a casket long before we shot it off...

Oh I knew I needed and wanted them, was pleasantly surprised at the efficiency when I began reloading for them. 358 Winchester, 200gr TTSX 2700 fps, 50grs powder. 9.3x62mm, 320gr Woodleighs, 2400 fps, 63.5grs powder. 400 Whelen, 400gr Woodleighs 2265 fps, 68grs powder. 400 H&H, 400gr A-Frames...

HC, no offense taken, agreed with the pressuring up and the litigators, doesn't take much to hurt their feelers, all good.

Nightforce NSX 2.5-10x24 NP-1 lit reticle, bulletproof, 30mm tube, use on any dangerous game rifle for buffalo or elephant at 10 yards, plains game as far as you're comfortable shooting them. Use one on a 300 PRC for bull elk, again at ranges your talent dictate, great scopes, I could also say...

IIRC, the 25-06, 300 WBY and even the mighty 416 Remington are all loaded to +65K PSI, great hunters use them without care every year, all good.

Not so sure I'm even over pressure here Gentlemen, if we look at Hodgdon't online load data, we can see 500gr loads with AA-2460 a paltry 53,000 psi at 2200 fps, that extra 100 fps I get by adding more powder is surely still well in the safe zone. A few test brass casings have lasted so far...

1963 year model FN Browning Safari 458 WM, 24" barrel. WW Brass 500gr Nosler partition AA-2460 powder CCI-250 COL 3.370 Vel 2309 fps Takes a backseat to nothing hunting heavy game where a soft nosed bullet is called for, followed with a magazine full of 450gr Northfork flat point solids at...

Facing a 70+ pound bull Elephant up close and personal with an iron sighted double rifle, dark maned Lion with 375, 400 H&H or 458 WM.

You're all set man.
