For those of you who have loaded this combination, does 72 grains of H4895 seem like a good starting load for the 470 Capstick and the 500 grain Barnes TSX bullet?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Dump the H4895 idea. Buy RL-15 or IMR 4320. Start at 88 grains with the 500 TSX. Work up to 92 if your gun likes it. You'll get safe, accurate, deadly loads that won't turn your Capstick into a grenade.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
