I was hunting around for articles on large bore calibers and stumbled across Corbon's website and some really nice deals they have on large bore factory ammunition. I picked up two boxes of their 525gr DPS (Barnes TSX) 505 Gibbs ammunition for pretty much just the cost of the brass and bullets!

if you're interested in some big bore factory ammunition loaded with Barnes bullets you might want to check out their online store under "close outs".

note: I have no relation to Corbon, im just passing some good deals I found.

Thak Matt! Checking it out.

Those are mostly 10 round boxes... good deals but just be aware. I thought the lott stuff was particulary cheap.
 
just got my order of Corbon Expedition hunter 505 Gibbs ammunition. its a 525gr Barnes TSX bullet loaded in Jamison brass with a rather heavy roll crimp and a brass primer (likely a Remington LRM).

unfortunately my rifle went back to the factory so it will be some time before I can perform a chronograph test on this stuff. the box claims 2300fps but im always suspicious of factory ammunition. Kynoch claims 2300fps on their 505 Gibbs ammunition but ive heard from multiple sources that it only clocks in at 2150fps. I also have some Norma gibbs ammo that claims 2100fps with a 600gr bullet that I will be testing as soon as my gun gets back.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
