Glad to see some more discussion on this thread! I had previously reloaded 30-06 and went through a lot of the begginer questions and mistakes in doing so. When I bought the 500 NE I realized there is a whole other set of questions and potential mistakes one can make when dealing with double...

Extraction has been fine, no issues there. Most recently I've been fine-tuning a H4350/TSX combo that has been extremely accurate. It seems the rifle was regulated at fairly low velocity (like 1900-1950 fps) which requires a lighter load of H4350 making the recoil a bit softer. Rifle is...

Very cool

Thanks for all the replies. I looked at a bunch of fired and unfired primers, and some primers that were in factory loads. I know the picture kind of looks like the primer may be flattened, but under a hand lens they actually look to have the same curvature as unfired primers, so I don't think...

Very interesting re: the factory loads. I loaded up some H4350 (99.5 gr - basically just above a starting load) to test out today to see if I get the same thing. May also take out some factory loaded Federal to test as well. I think I'll also call Ken today and see if I can get his thoughts.

Been doing some load development with my new 500 NE DR. After talking to Ken Owen I decided to try some IMR 3031 and work up from a starting point of 77 gr with a bit of open cell foam for a filler. With 77 grains my velocity was 1872 ft/s average. With 78 grains my velocity was 1890 ft/s...

I know you only sent 5 shots downrange, but any initial data on accuracy/POI consistency?

Congrats to both parties, I'm glad that a mutually beneficial deal was made!

If something falls through with Cowboy PM me and I'll take them!

Would you sell them individually?

Reviving this thread because I am now also looking for a Merkel takedown case for a DR. If anyone has one for sale please let me know.

Hi, wondering if anyone has experience with the "Hornady New Dimension Series IV" dies vs the RCBS Safari dies for 500 NE. The Hornady is a 2-die set while the RCBS is 3, and the Hornady is priced significantly cheaper. I picked up a set of the Hornady on sale but I'm wondering if I'll regret it...

Looking for a quality set of reloading dies as well as a shellholder. LMK what you've got!

Rifle was received yesterday after some delays due to USPS. Rifle is exactly as advertised. Happy to vouch for @Mtn_Infantry - I trusted him and he didn't screw me :LOL:. Thank you sir!

Beautiful DR, GLWS
