I see they have then here at SCI. Have not looked. Anything in particular you wanted to know? They had one open on display and I could look at it. Bruce

I got mine a few months ago. I like it. It has loading for the scirroco bullets that were not in the other one. Anything you are looking for?

 

[matt85]

for one thing, im curious if it has 505 Gibbs load data. they offer the .505" bullets but the 1st edition manual doesn't have any of the 50 caliber cartridges.

Yes they do for 535RN and 570RN A-Frame bullets

 

[Divernhunter]

Powders used are Retumbo, RL25, RL33 and IMR7828. They liked RL33 for the 535gr and RL25 for the 570gr.

Matt, I have one as well. Some new cartridges and new powders, but a lot of the same as well. 505 Gibbs is in there, as others have stated.
