"First, The 500 Jeff does not have a sterling historic reputation on several fronts."

Like what ?

Feeding ? Bullshit. 458 Win Mags have feeding problems
with certain bullets / bullet shapes.

Re problem feeding in 500J's, Only because gunsmith's don't do the work to get them to feed. If they were gunsmith's and did the research, they would know how.

Original Schuler's / Jeff's and copies of such fed fine
(at least seven were made from original's here in Aus) worked fine and killed fine. Same with 505 Gibbs.

Cheaper brass - for the number of shots people fire,
it is insignificant in the scheme of things and you
either want one or you don't, if you base your decision
on the cost of brass ....................
