Is anyone commercial producing 505 Gibbs ammo?
 
Norma, nosler and double tap all load 505 but like everything else I doubt you’ll find any in stock at the moment. Swift shows 505 on their website but I’ve never seen any in person.
 
Thanks - No luck finding anything so far. I am looking for one box of current ammo, preferably from Norma, but would consider others. I can, of course, load. However, I have a build project just getting started and want box of factory loads for standards. I do have one round of vintage Kynoch, which will probably work.
 
Norma and Double Tap both used to load their .505 Gibbs ammunition with Woodleigh bullets - Which is (hopefully temporarily) not in production, at the moment. Which is why you won't be seeing their ammunition for a while.

I have some I can part with. I have to get to it and see exactly what I have so give me a bit and I'll get back to you. It will be 600 grain loads, probably Woodliegh bullets.
 
I've got a box each of Norma African PH loaded with Woodliegh 600 grain Protected Point Softs and 600 grain full metal jacket. Plus another partial box of 6 softs.

PM with your offer if interested. Open to trades or will sell.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
