This sounds like something to chat about around the camp fire. Thats just a stupid idea. Anyway if i had the funds id be on this mate. Look forward to seeing you in June

Congrats bro. I await the day such a rifle graces my safe. Go and drop game with her now as thats where she belongs

Right the problem has been solved!! All it was, was too much slow burning powder trying to ignite. I went to my buddies place to test some new loads and they all went off very well and I even shot some outstanding groups. all using the same primers and powder. Albeit i have worked up a load...

Cuz its fun :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

cant beat a scope to the nose to stop complacency

505 gibbs. As many have said i have one and bloody well love the thing

Guys I love that 4 bote and the 505. Feel free to have a shot on them. Both bloody good fun. @Philip Glass load development is precisely that development and getting it right. Then your good to go in the field. All the deer ive taken apart from x2 have been done with home loads. Also all my DG...

Stunning wood there GLWS

My money would go on a good Swiss made watch used but from a reputable dealer

What would a used Tudor set you back in the USA??

All 20 of the cases with primers had the same report. I seem to remember the last tub of n165 powder i had no issues with and used the same batch of primers

Well I do have a fresh pack of 1000 primers I can try from. Only that that's confusing me is the 20 primed cases I fired this morning all went off without an issue

Marius it's ammo I've loaded myself. I have a feeling it may be the powder as my old tub of n165 didn't have any issues. Saying that I tried to dry the powder in my over last night. It did flow better through my fingers after about 30 mins at 45c

Im going to a boiler today that's doing the same

the brass was new never fired. I use a lyman hand primer so minimal touching of primers. The volume of powder literally fills the case

Well I have called all the suppliers I know and it seems that there are no Fed primers in the UK!! Non are due until 2028. I did just fire off all the cases I pulled and they all went off without a glitch. Got me thinking might be the powder.

If only it ever got warm enough in the UK for that :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

If I load the pulled ammo with no powder just the primers they all go off. That to me would say the pin is hitting hard enough. Im with the school of thought that the primers im using are just not hot enough

Oh the hit is hard. Those primers go off no probs. But as people have mentioned not enough heat

Who is Cindy?? Really!!!? Cindy Crawford man. The perfect primer, though be it a small mag primer not a magnum

I might get a T shirt with that on. I like my primers like my women, magnum and hot :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

This makes sense. I wonder if a 50BMG spec primer will do the trick?? Something tells me they are bigger though

I dont think its the pin or spring. The rifle has hardly seen any work and I shot off some primed cases just to get the feel of it and they all went off without any issues

So I have just pulled 20 rounds no powder clumps all smooth as Cindys legs.

ive not pulled any ammo yet this was just out of the can. Give me a moment I shall pull a few

I have just dried my powder in the oven. Dont worry its not a gas oven. i had it in there at 40c for about 30mins to warm it through

I use the same primers in all my other large rifle cases but I see the logic. Do y'all think the primers have got a little damp?? If so can they be dried out? Hard to find lrg mag primers in the UK

Went to the range today to shoot my 505. Anyway had a few too many click bangs than one would want. Cases are brand new, powder is N165 135 grns of and I'm using cci mag primers. Bullet is a 525 grn. The powder charge practically fills the case so I'm ruling out a flash over. Other than that I'm...

Has anyone got any experience with www.trophyboars.com??? Im considering an Ibex with them but want to see if anyone has used them before?? Many thanks as always

What is this still doing for sale??

Ok just seen your pic of the 2 powders and like i said thats what happend to me, I use a lot of Vit powders and all the bottle loot the same apart from the tiny number on them. I always double then triple check

Im just glad you OK @sestoppelman. I have had the same sort of thing happen on a rem 700 30-06. It was due to a heavy charge on a hand load. looking at your load it all seems ok so god know what happend but he must bee looking down on you

If I was in the USA I would be on this. GLWS @Backyardsniper

The 505 is truly an amazing cal and Im glad to say I can say I have one in the safe. I love the thing. @AZDAVE is an absolute gent and will help you if he can. The new owner wont be let down

@HankBuck I hate to pull this card but Im going to. I have been shot at more times than I care to remember and have had a few close calls. In all times the drills that we did it training just kicked in. When things didnt go as we wanted them to we improvised. In a nutshell you are still having...

@AZDAVE if you were selling that when i was looking at that 500j that you helped me with I would have taken that in a heartbeat. GLWS bro

It also highlights that the client should drill and drill and drill rapid fire until they can operate the rifle in a smart and swift manner. Pisses me off when you can see the client hasnt put in practice on a DG hunt. Im with @grand veneur on not taking the shot with the other buff behind

With any luck they will ALL be getting a hefty bill for the use of it.

Outstanding deal mate. Looking forward to seeing you in June :D Beer Bottle::D Beer Draft::D Cheers::D Beers::D Drunk::P Elmer Fudd:

I like the look of this guy. Any idea what happened to his eye?? Looks like he got home late one night from the watering hole

I have a tuffpak and always have clothing in with the rifle/s. But then again I fly out of the UK so its totally different

If it helps tell him you have someone very close to Cambridge if he would like a face to face chat.

not many pics there yet. Was there an after party??? Glad to know y'all had fun

When I do the DSC thats kinda what i end up doing. Im looking forward to next year in ATL and the pics from this year

Merry Christmas and a happy new year everyone. Have a wonderful time with your loved ones and friends.

I would use the 416 Rigby on the PG you have mentioned in a heartbeat. Last time I checked the animal is dead or alive it cant be more dead than if you used a 375. Eland are a big animal too. Also it will give you confidence with using the 416

Guys if your thinking about getting this just go for it. I have one in the same cal. Its an epic tool to have in the arsenal and surprisingly easy to shoot. @krish GLWS mate you might be better off holding onto this one

Guys I have hunted with Marius. All I can say is he is a very dedicated and professional guy. He wont stop until the hunt is done. A top guy.

An old S1 cant beat em
