Is anyone commercial producing 505 Gibbs ammo?
 
Norma, nosler and double tap all load 505 but like everything else I doubt you’ll find any in stock at the moment. Swift shows 505 on their website but I’ve never seen any in person.
 
Thanks - No luck finding anything so far. I am looking for one box of current ammo, preferably from Norma, but would consider others. I can, of course, load. However, I have a build project just getting started and want box of factory loads for standards. I do have one round of vintage Kynoch, which will probably work.
 
Norma and Double Tap both used to load their .505 Gibbs ammunition with Woodleigh bullets - Which is (hopefully temporarily) not in production, at the moment. Which is why you won't be seeing their ammunition for a while.

I have some I can part with. I have to get to it and see exactly what I have so give me a bit and I'll get back to you. It will be 600 grain loads, probably Woodliegh bullets.
 
I've got a box each of Norma African PH loaded with Woodliegh 600 grain Protected Point Softs and 600 grain full metal jacket. Plus another partial box of 6 softs.

PM with your offer if interested. Open to trades or will sell.

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
