What caliber/rifle are you planning on using for your bull?

Does anyone know anything about the 500 Weatherby? I assume it is just a 460 Weatherby necked up to .510 caliber, just like the 500 A-Square and 510 Wells. I couldn’t find anything online about it. Thanks.

This has been a great thread to read and follow. I appreciate all the information that has been shared, this is perfect for those of us still in the “dreaming” stage!

Does anyone know how to get access to old issues of "African Hunter Magazine"? I have found excellent articles posted randomly on the internet, and have printed what I could find. The articles are very informative and I love reading them. I understand that "African Hunter Magazine" is no...

Pm sent for Letter D, the Norma brass

Full disclosure, I already have a 23” 458 Lott and I love it. However, I’ve always wanted a 450 Rigby to get a little bit more (especially with a 550 gr bullet, sectional density is .375!) I’ve found a custom CZ 550 in 450 Rigby, but the dang thing only has a 20” barrel. I think that it would...

What would be the velocity of a 500 gr bullet coming out of a 20” 450 Rigby? Do you think it would be roughly the same as a 23” 458 Lott? (I realize firing a 20” 450 Rigby would be quite exhilarating!)

Yes, that is the rifle I purchased, the one from Gunbroker. I could only find one other "MHD" rifle from another auction site from last year (serial number MHD 505-1), and then the "MHD" chambered in the unknown 416 caliber. The description for the 416 says it is an MHD rifle, but it says...

Does anyone know who makes "MHD" rifles? I recently purchased a 505 Gibbs, and the only markings are "505 Gibbs" and "MHD 505-2". I've tried to do a Google search and haven't found anything definitive. Right now I am thinking maybe "Mauser Henri Dumoulin" or "Mauser Herstal-Dumoulin". The...

Congratulations! What bullet/load were you using in your Lott? How bad was the deflection after it hit the zygomatic arch?

What is the price? Will it come with any reloading items? (Dies, brass).

Could you neck up 416 Weatherby brass to 500 A Square? It would have to be done in several steps, but could it be done/would it work? Thanks

Do you have any details? Do any reloading components come with it?

Just curious, you mention that you prefer your 458 Lott to the 450 Rigby. Could you let us know why? I also have a Lott, and am looking into getting a Rigby, but mainly just because I always am wanting something “bigger and faster”. Thanks.
