Mine did if I had a scope on it. It’s no myth. I still regret selling my Sako Kodiak in 375H&H though. It was a beautiful rifle and the gun fit me like no other. As fast as a red dot with open sights. Every time I shouldered it I couldn’t help but have the sights perfectly lined up. (“In a fight...

Bertram has brass for everything. You will never run out. I was at their factory a month or two ago and picked up 450NE 3 1/4” brass. They have a lot of everything in stock. https://bertrambullets.com/

Beautiful, nice find !

Yeah, I can imagine from a PH’s perspective they see so often a guy show up with a 500 + and they role their eyes. I would not be surprised if more than half of them can’t shoot it well. With that in mind I am fairly confident that some PH’s would be recommending a 375 / 416 for everyone...

I hunt pigs and feral goats here in Australia with my 458Lott and shot two shots with a 500NE at the Heym factory 2 or 3 weeks ago. That’s the extent of my personal experience so I’m clearly no expert. I do however consume enormous amounts of YouTube content haha. Many experienced hunters in...

Nice. Thanks for that. I’ll let you know for sure. Sounds like fun.

Ok, so basically I didn’t want to spend all this money on a double rifle and then have the stock look like a fence post or chair leg. Nothing wrong with a plain piece of wood on a WW1 303 but not on a double rifle With that in mind I looked at other stocks around like YouTube videos of Merkel...

A lot of interesting stuff in there. I’ve never met Chris Sells since he’s the importer into the US. Just from YouTube videos though he seems to have gotten quite thin recently so maybe he has a health issue and that could explain some of the issues. Hope he’s ok obviously. I did reach out to...

Nice. Yeah, I was never intending to take them to Africa for a once in a lifetime Cape buffalo hunt haha. I just figured while I was there I’d grab them and help out an Aussie company. Should be good for pigs

I don’t know anything about this, so I’m just guessing but I believe, as someone above stated, Heym use Hornady factory ammo until 500NE and then they use a German company that makes the 577NE and up. That German company uses Bertrem brass and I think some ones bullets and no doubt someone...

Thanks! I’ve got some 480gr Hydros that I’ve ordered that haven’t come in yet so there’s still some delays. As we speak I’m literally an hour away from the Bertrem Bullets factory. I knew they made brass but wasn’t aware they also make projectiles too. I just happened to be driving past them...

Thank you. There’s a Rigby gunroom / showroom in Brisbane Australia actually, I’m keen to pop by there some time when I’m up there next.

Well, I wanted to pick out the wood and get measurements for stock fitting but live in Australia so the options were; roll the dice, fly to Heym USA in Texas or fly to Heym in Germany and do a factory tour while I’m at it. I have a few friends in Germany so I made my choice and flew to Germany...

Regarding your last comment: Yeah. I really love the 450NE. I have nothing against the 470NE at all, and I love the fact that it is slightly bottle necked. To me that’s the main positive although no one else seems to agree haha. (I just meant that it is going to be easier to feed in a hurry...
