Have you put money on this?

400NE and I butt heads from time to time, but I'm in lockstep with him on this. IF you can swing the $$$ go for a 450/400 Hymie.

Let me tell you that the 470NE is not the beast you think it is. In a $10k 10.5 lbs Merkel the Federal factory ammo is quite "shootable". I had a Chapius and used to shoot reduced loads with 475 Linebaugh bullets!

I have a .375 Merkel DR and think very highly of it.
