How many reloads can I expect from decent brass with normal published loads? Do you all aneal cases after 4-5 shots or no.... Just curious on everyone’s experience.
 
It is not an high pressure cartridge. I have shot them 4 times. May be time for annealing. Looks like will go beyond 10 reloads. If you hot load them I dont know. I dont load them over 2500 fps we with 600gr woodleigh. I am still using the same 10 pieces for load devolopment.
 
Thanks Krish!
 
Yeah Im doing 540s at 2300 right now off the bench
 
Cz 550 custome ordered with action work, bolt slicking, double recoil reducers, mat finish, extra fancy stock. I like it. I bought a sako brown bear 500jeff and AHR 500Jeff aswell. Havent done any load work on the Jeff's yet. Just lucky got two 8lb jugs of imr 4895 for the jeff.

I think you have order brown bear in 500 and wait. Not sure you have any for sale on the net.

Not surprised..... I have a Ruger guide in 416 Ruger mint (18 rds) dies and brass I wanna get rid of first ...
 
I am sure some one on this site looking for it or try it gunbroker. In 416 I am sticking with the rigby's.
 
Yepp I agree

Until this guy posts something on pay it forward free I would avoid him at all costs.

If it hasn't sold by next week I might be interested. Stock would have to be changed along with some other items. I'm already having a 416 Rigby built so money is a tad bit tight.

Hey pal! I'll take all the .375 bullets if they're available.
Thanks!
