  • I have been looking at an option for a 505, that doesn't break the bank (that concern my have to yield), and is more in the 50-110, or 50 Alaskan range. However not easy to find a case, other than the Weatherby, of course. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    My cartridge is simply the .460 Weatherby case shortened to 2.500" and with the neck opened to accomodate a .505" diameter bullet. I still have the chamber reamer used to create the original rifle, but it was altered to reduce the neck to accomodate .375" diameter bullets. I had rifles built using the basic case necked to both .416" and .375", but after trying out the cartridges abandoned them.

    Hello, do you have any information on your 505 SRE cartridge. Up here in Canada, there is talk about how the various 500s may exceed the 10 000 Joule limit recently imposed. Not that they do on paper, but you never know what they may infer or claim.

Most of my hunts are solo — just me, my rifle, and a good map. Sometimes I tag along with an old buddy for a week in Zimbabwe or South Africa, but more often than not, it’s just me.
Big fan of classic hunting — bolt-action rifles, old-school tracking, and taking the time to really be in the moment.
Just did a podcast, check it out if interested!
