505 Gibbs case life

[Dr. Crack]

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!

[Dr. Crack]

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 ...

 

[krish]

I am sure some one on this site looking for it or try it gunbroker. In 416 I am sticking with the rigby's.
