    Indeed. I have not played with my 338 RUM since 2012, records show I was shooting 200 CEB Raptors at 3280 fps, various 225s 3100+-, and 250s 2900 and change. Back in 2010 I had to borrow a friends, wrong handed 338 Winchester, for two muskox. United Air lost my luggage with my 416 B&M...

    I took a couple of those Winchester RUM actions and did one in 338 and another in 358...........Hammers for medium calibers, but the damn barrels have to be so long at 24 inches in that small caliber......... Of course done by SSK.......I can't find a photo of the 338 just yet...............

    Okay folks...how about the 500S&W in a rifle for Africa!

    How does one "Enhance" any Cartridge and Increase its effective Terminal Performance In The Field? Bullet Technology. The Bullet does all the Heavy Lifting. 15 years ago I developed a series of .500 caliber cartridges for various rifles. The problem I faced with these rifles at the time...

    .458 Win Mag and the 400 grain Swift A-Frame

    I shot buffalo with a 400 Swift one time back in the day, not because it was the bullet of choice, but it was the bullet/load I had at the time. I had shot two lions already and it was a lion hammer, DRT on both. Buffalo was not on the menu, but a situation came up, I took on purpose behind...

    Body Shots On Elephant (Does Caliber Really Matter?)

    IvW..... You are a very smart individual and almost have it down 100% correct. The only thing I would change in your description is from just FMJ, to any Round Nose Solid Projectile. Let me present to the group a little bit about Terminal Ballistics for Solids, but first You would never use...

    My New 500 B&M.......

    HEH...... No argument there. I think you can measure that in "tons of Buffalo in the Dirt"............ Forget numbers, easier to keep up with tonnage................... Another good day with the 500s yesterday........ John T's gun keeps on performing. I found some more ugly ass ammo I did...

    Yes, that NECG Flip up BIG BEAD is standard fair on all the B&Ms. Yep, its big, but its easy to put on a buffalo at 15 yards or so........ and fast........... I hope to be on the range this morning again, both with your gun and the other 500 B&M. Which is actually the new gun and not fired...

    My New 500 B&M.......

    Paul T most awful looking ammo I ever seen in my life. Knots, wrinkled up, dirty, looks like it rolled around the back of the pickup for an entire hunting season........Exactly what you would expect out of a Australian I reckon...................LOL..................:eek: And he was hunting...

    My New 500 B&M.......

    John J........Just finished putting 20 rds through you gun, some minor iron sight in and tests...... So far. So Good. Shooting some crap ammo as well. Ammo fine, but the brass is Die Formed, so not nicely ironed out proper brass. The kind Paul T uses! LOL.... I most certainly would not...

    My New 500 B&M.......

    John, I had those Montana actions made probably sometime 2011 or so? At the most a year before Tanks built his gun, I can't remember exactly. At any rate, they were $800 at the time. Not sure what they would be now? I have not looked in a long time for a Winchester M70 RUM gun, but last...

    B&M Cartridges Comparison

    The 500 B&M is not in the standard line up of B&M Cartridges. It is or was more of an experiment and something to play with. The 500 MDM is a 2.8 inch RUM case, at .500 caliber. The 500 B&M is a 2.5 inch RUM case. Both designed for the Winchester M70 RUM Control Feed action, long action. At 2.5...

    My New 500 B&M.......

    Hey Tanks....... Tried to give you a call back but you were out too...... Tanks has the only left hand 500 MDM in existence........ Back in the day, I wanted to try a couple of Montana actions in RUM. This left hand of Tanks was one of them. I always get calls on Lefty guns and they are hard...

    John J............. Will be shooting your 500 MDM this week. Maybe starting today. Want to give it a good work out. If all goes well, I will be sending it first of next week......... I suspect it will, Wes had dummy rounds to run through it to make sure the stock was fit proper for the...

    My New 500 B&M.......

    Absolutely correct........ You want that stock as straight as possible with the bore, this keeps muzzle flip at bay. The more drop in the rear, the more the front is going to come up, simple. Beyond that, the Accurate Innovations stocks all have full length aluminum chassis, not only does it...

    My New 500 B&M.......

    Like every single cartridge that is fired in a "Control Feed" gun, the extractor will only allow it to go so far in the chamber.............Very much exactly the same as a 1911 and 45 ACP. By cartridge design, if you did not have a Control Feed Extractor holding the case, then in theory on the...

    In my hands the other night standing around with Wes in the Gun Lab, the thought ran through my mind. But it was "fleeting" at best..................I got to thinking about the aggravation flying, then the aggravation with Customs coming home, and the thought quickly left my mind...
