.500 Jeffery:
- Norma (540Gr monolithic solid)
- Labor Fur Ballistik (535Gr soft point & copper jacketed FMJ solid)

.505 Gibbs:
Norma (540Gr monolithic solid)

Norma used to offer factory loaded ammunition (both soft points & FMJ solids) for both the .500 Jeffery and .505 Gibbs in 570Gr and 600Gr weight respectively using Woodleigh bullets. But with Woodleigh bullets being unavailable anymore (at least for now), they haven't made them in a while.

Swift lists 570Gr factory loaded A Frames & Break Away Solids for both the .500 Jeffery and the .505 Gibbs on their website. But they've always been listing them as "Out of stock" for the last three years and I don't know ANYBODY who actually was able to purchase any.

I've got 505 Gibbs loads.. A box of 10 plus another with 6 Protected Point and a box of 10 FMJ. Norma PH factory loads with 600 grain Woodliegh bullets. They are the fancy Nickle plated cases but the 6 are scratched as they popped out of the feed rails on one of my guns. The trick is to scratch them up with sandpaper or just rub sand on them in the field.

These were darned expensive when on the market and should be worth a lot more today. I'll sell them but not sure what I should ask so send an offer.

I used ammo seek and found Gordy and Sons has both in stock.
