In an interesting twist (reloading master class): if you use bullets that aren't designed for your cartridge. IE: Using 50-110 bullets for a 500Nitro Express. The cannelure doesn't line up for crimping. Additionally, the seater die is designed for a roll crimp for the cannelure vice a tapered...

I have 2 - 500 Nitro Express rifles, a custom Ruger No1 and a TC Encore. The TC Encore needs a lighter recoiling round then factory ammo as it comes in at a mere 8lbs and that is vicious with full throttle ammo. I'm playing with some 500gr Woodleigh FP, designed for 50Alaskan or 50-110Win. I...

Seems everyone is looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist; I decided it was time to get on the bandwagon. In April, I ordered a barrel from SSK Industries in 450 Nitro 3 1/4". My goal was a 500gr at 2150fps. The muzzle brake is only a place holder until my big bore suppressor is...

I had a 300Wby Ultralite. Got a steal price on a sealed factory box, Proof Research Carbon Fiber 1:9 twist barrel last Christmas (someone needed money). Gunsmith finally had time to do the rebarrel. Bonus, gunsmith has a short throat reamer, can still fire factory ammo but not the .3 jump to...

Does anyone have an idea when these were manufactured? (I have a message out to Barnes but haven't heard back yet). I know they are long ago, discontinued. Barnes Manual #3 doesn't have them listed. They are a standard cup and core RN SP, 400gr, 0.423 diameter. I'm doing a load work-up with...

A major score! On page 14 of my internet search I stumbled across a gun shop in Michigan that had 2 boxes of 416 Ruger brass. Have not seen 416 Ruger "In-Stock" for months. It's used for my custom 404 Ruger (necked up with no other changes). I also found 3 boxes of 400gr SN 0.423 bullets. Time...

It's here! My 404 Jeffery custom build by Lane Precision Rifles. I was able to specify every detail on this and Dallas Lane delivered a SUPERB dangerous game rifle. -Defiance Machine Rebel action with a sheep port and 20MOA pinned rail, controlled round feed, 3 position safety -Trigger Tech...

Found these on GunBroker at a steal of a price. Purchased some and they measure 0.422 on the driving band as advertised. I am not selling them and have no affiliation with the seller. Just passing along the info for interested persons.

With everything in short supply on the shelves, go to the source. I was just on and they have A LOT of Safari ammo available. https://www.federalpremium.com/ Use your pull down menus, rifle - premium safari. Once there, switch from Top Sellers to sorting by availability. They have nearly every...

My baby is finally home. Spectacular wood, custom barrel from SSK Industries (now Leigh Defense), with a rail vice Ruger base. Cerakoted and topped with a Leupold VX-R Scout 1.5-5×33 (Lighted reticle). Full 1" barrel profile for the extra weight.

I booked this as an offered special on this site. My target species were Kudu, Nyala/Waterbuck, and Bushbuck. I opted for Waterbuck and inquired about Gemsbuck if time permitted as I've loved the species for 30+yrs. This was a late season hunt, the last week of Sep'19. I met Marius at the...
