Good afternoon everyone,

Quick question.

I’m trying to find a 20-50 round hard case (preferably MTM brand if applicable) to put my 505 Gibbs ammo.

I’ve found two options with close measurements, but would like some input from those who have experience with these and the large magnum cases.

Would the RF-22 LM or RLLD-50 work for this cartridge?

Thanks to all in advance.

Best regards,

Rootball
 
I couldn’t find the 505 in their charts but for the 500 NE they recommend the RLLD-50 for the flip top.
 
BUT…both come with slight caveats. If using a longer bullet, seated out further, the Berry is a better option as it has just slightly more vertical space and sharper corners. The MTM holds 2-more rounds if they are shorter like with a SN A-Frame or Woodleigh. Some rounds I just leave the spaces where MTM has the two additional slots empty and the case closes easier.

The Berry case lid, you have to slightly pull outward for the lip to clear the caserim and then it closes fully and solidly.
 
Comparison pics. Let me know if different views more helpful, I can snap a couple more.

This is perfect! Thank you so much and for the pics to show the comparison. I have some Woodleigh 600 grain PPSN, 570 grain Swift A-Frames, and CEB 600 grain solids. Will buy a sample of both
 
I get it. On the MTM you loose the 2 inside slots and it makes a 20 round box. Thanks very much.

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Getting some culling done!

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
