Re: .505 gibbs

The 500 A square sounds like the most shooting for buck. I wanted the romance of the 505 Gibbs to compliment my 416 Rigby. I have a preferance for uncompromising cartidge designs and dont care for bean counter mentality (IMO only) cartidges like the, too short, 458 win mag or rebated & short, 500 Jeffrey. I am sure they have advantages, just not for me.

I was unaware of the recent popularity of big bore shooting. Reading here and elsewhere, I am quietly considering something custom/semi-custom in one of the 577 wildcats (750 gr 2100 fps). Maybe someday ...

Man it would be great if Hornady would offer 577NE ammo. Or 505 gibbs.
