It finally came in Barrel, Dies and Brass for the 585 HE. I don't know if I should thank or blame Matt585 for convincing me I need one of these. Off to the gunsmith next week, hoping I'm shooting it by spring.

I've found that @matt85 takes thanks and blame at the same time very well, so I'd go with that... ;)
 
I accept both your blame and your thanks. :D

hopefully by the time you get your rifle built ill have some load data ready for you. I'm working to create a load that duplicates or slightly exceeds the performance of the 577 NE. ive been playing with the 750gr Barnes TSX but ive found the bullets to have issues related to them being under sized. Barnes feels the need to make their 750gr bullets at .582" instead of .584"-.585". I will be trying Woodleigh and CEB next since both of those brands make bullets of proper size.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
