    Accubonds/Partitions vs Scirocco/A-Frames

    For me, accuracy was: 1. Speer Gold Dot .23 2. 130 SCIROCCO .40 3. 143 AB .5 4. HAMMER .55 Field results: 1. SCIROCCO, hands down Bigger animals, use a bigger caliber and A-frames, if they shoot well.

    MY .500 Jeffery wish list build MEMBERS opinions are welcome

    Sounds like a great build. Maybe Bastogne walnut, as it is heavier and stronger. Tungsten weights to your preferred weight. Mine is 11.5 lbs. Avoids any issues with mercury. Let's see pics!

    What is your accuracy standard for a Big Bore bolt gun?

    While we all (myself included) love a rifle that shoots MOA groups, a more important factor is 1st shot accuracy from a cold, fouled, bore. No game animal is going to hang around to worry about 2nd shot placement.

    Blaser trouble, expended cartridge cases sticking in the chamber

    I doubt any brand of gun cleaning solvent would damage the metal finish on a Blaser barrel. Ballistol should be readily available in Germany, and is my first choice as a lubricant, unless grease is recommended. If it will not remove the 'gunk', any name brand gun cleaning solvent should.

    Why oh why do I reload some days?

    Long ago, had a #1 that was picky about brand of brass. It also headspaced off the belt. Does not explain your current data set....

    Went To The Dark Side (Swarovski)

    One evening in Africa, as a Leupold hunter packed up because he couldn't see in the dimming light, I handed him my Swarovskis. He changed his mind about spending more on optics. "It only cost the difference in what you paid for it and what you sold it for"

    .30 cal solids for tiny ten types?

    The CEB solids have been pretty good about matching POI with hunting loads in several calibers for me. They poke a clean hole with deadly results.
