500 Jeffery Club

[colorado]

I agree I got my 500 Jeffery for pure knockdown power, but placement is soo important. It's an old joke. My friend bought a 9mm (i shoot 45 and 45 Super). I told him if I want to make someone angry, I'll just insult them

I joined the club Saturday, shooting 4 rounds through mine. I’m not sure anything could survive a round from the .500j, my shoulder almost didn’t.

Idk if it gets better per-say & I haven't been to SA with it, yet. (More experienced members stories have been a joy). But when/if it becomes extinctive, controlled, measured .. it's magnificent.

That monograph/Special Issue of BASA JOURNAL SOUTH AFRICA was too big to fit on my scanner.
Too big to fit in a sheet protector until the top edge was sliced off.
Here is a better quality image made by using "Paint" on what I could fit on the scanner.
No scotch tape showing on the top of this one:

Too me that worn blueing adds value.

I posted this under W.J.'s page. But a beautiful perspective ...

 

[grand veneur]

A German or rather an English cartridge, the author concluded that it was more likely a German one. That was the status in 1995, but there is nowadays a clear distinction between the cartridges 500 Jeffery and 12,7x70 Schüler.

caliber 6 Oktober 95 / November 95

Does anyone have a spare hard copy of this magazine they would be willing to sell? I have been trying to find one for awhile. Thanks!

If you care to share, have you ever used the 500 on Bear?

 

[colorado]

I haven't I got this bear with my Rem XCR II (stainless/TryNyte finish) in 375 H&H with a 300g A-Frame at 13 yards. Hit him perfectly but he stood up, took off into the brush and roared for like 3 minuutes. Went in after him and found him dead on the trail waiting for us. I hear sometimes they go bang flop when hit with a 30-06. Regardless, next time I'm bringing the 500.

Anyone who buys nowadays a rifle caliber 500 Jeffery should pay attention to which cartridge it is intended for and then also pay attention to the ammunition. No problem with the new rifles, but perhaps with the used. The cartridges 500 Jeffery and 12,7 x70 Schüler are not always interchangeable.

Correct there are 3 chamber.dimensions....I own the one that can take all 3...

Now the question to the honorable members of the club: Who has what ?

My rifle built in 1998 has a chamber for the Romey Hybrid cartridge. In addition to the rifle I got the ammunition from W.Romey and brass from Horneber. With that I have what I need for reloading. Fortunately the barrel diameters are the same.
