The Chapuis had from new was the same, after some shooting and breaking it down a few times it lossened up

The RNSN still expand find under 1800fps. Atleast that has been my experience.

@PCC600 I can see the magazine follower sticking up at the front in the photo you posted?

I wouldn't consider it a problem, both 450's I had did it and both functioned and fed from the magazine perfectly.

Is it a 450 Rigby? Both 450's I have owned in the big game model did it. The 375 and 404 I have owned in the big game don't seem to do it.

I've used open cell foam for 470 and 450/400

Now it's time to do a buffalo hunt in the BVC

Bloody good shooting young fella!

Yeah absolutely, I haven't had any issues. Nothing wrong with the synthetic/composite stock PH model though it will serve you well if thats what you have bought. My opinion is the standard Blaser recoil pads on those PH models do absolutely nothing for the 500 Jeffery recoil, I would change it...

Dense stright grain is always my first choice, this is a great blank in my opinion

I have owned both the PH (composite stock) and Kilombero models in 500 Jeffery and hunted with both extensively. The stock on the Kilombero model fits me much better, I hd a 1" decelerator pad fitted and hand loaded 535 grain Woodleighs with 100 grains of 2208 and a foam filler in Norma brass...

In the last 3 years I have purchased 600 of the 165 grain Sierra Gamechangers for my 308 and only have around 50 left., so I estimate I have probably shot around 400 wild boar with them. I have also found them to be very accurate and I have not had any issues with penetraion. I have actually...

I have never done anything more than a slight roll crimp using seating dies and never had a problem. It has always worked well on both bolt action and double rifle cartridges.

I use decelerator pads on all my big calibre rifles, I have used them on 375's and up to 500's as well as everything in between. I've never tried anything else, for me the decelerator pads work very well. Currenty having one fitted to my 450/400 double.
