One of the many tests Michael458 did while testing CEB bullets was pressure testing barrels as various bullets were fired using a 470NE. At that time OSR (outside rifling) was all the talk and conventional wisdom was blaming it on Mono-metal bullets. His findings were what led me to use CEB's...

If I remember correctly he and Wolfgang Romney wildcatted his 500J from a rebated case rim to a rimless case

Toby 458 CEB's have been my first choice of bullet the last three trips. 400H&H 400gr Solid and 370gr Raptor 2400fps.. Buff and Eland 450NE 480gr Solid and 450 Raptor 250fps ..Buff, Ele and Wildebeeste (Frontal Brain) 505 Gibbs 525gr Solid 485gr Raptor 2300fps.. Buff, Ele (Side Brian) and Bush Pig

How tall are you how much do you weigh will you be hunting in warm or cold weather with this rifle

have you looked at a 450NE, ammo to be found and using a 458 dia bullet lots of choices in bullets little or no difference in ballistics and if properly built a handier rifle to carry and shoot

If you're choosing to use your .40 in North America and want to use it for Moose Elk Bear or ground hog Can't see any reason why working up a 300gr load and sighting the gun in would a problem. When the .40 is Africa bound and a 400gr Bullet is desired just a few minutes on the range is needed...

I been following this post trying to come up with a suitable response for Pheroze's query and the best I can do is "Why Not".

At 65 I am still able to see and use Iron Sights.. I realize that Red dots can/may be faster and more accurate but, as a traditionalist I struggle with the need. ...IF... down the road my eyes start to fail me I think this product by Docter/Noblex optics sits extremely low and would have the...

Kevin help me out "FOB"?

1903 Gibbs 450NE 28" Barrels Same Rifle little less wear and tear

Terry Wieland in his book "Dangerous Game Rifles" is a big fan of 5744 for reduced loads. You find the load the same way as with TrailBoss except with 5744 the multiplier is .40

Graeme Wright found out the compressing Trail Boss was not to be done

Have you checked with Hawk Bullets to see if they have any 483 in stock

This last August I hunted with Peter Wood and Roger Whittall Safari on the Save Conservancy Peter carries a lovely Watson 475#2

The Kynoch bullets shown have Heel cannelures which were used for the typical Kynoch Stab Crimp.. In Graeme Wright's book "Shooting ther British Double Rifle" He has 480grn loads for the 475#2 .. RL 15 105grs foam filler 2180fps IMR 4831 115grs foam filler 2200fps

here is the recommended method for determining your reduced load using Trail Boss

what have we found out ...IF.... in a alternate world you are able to shoot the same animal 10 different times in the same spot with the same rifle and load you would get 10 different responses.

I have an extra set of 25-20 dies if your interested

Why Foam Fillers One of my main concerns when stepping up to the 505 from my 450NE and 458 Lott was managing the Rifle's recoil and more importantly managing the Time in recoil. For managing the recoil I was happy with the Rifles weigh and Fit the Powder charge was next.... I used the Woodleigh...
