500Nitro, it certainly pissed me off initially, because a mate had one of these in .505 Gibbs & it was an absolute gem & boy it was accurate! With all the 'hype' that comes with these frankly I expected a lot more than I got. But I guess it won me over in the end when I got it working perfectly after a few simple fixes, it loads & ejects flawlessly now! Maybe not super slick yet, but I did it myself & I'm not that confident at doing this type of engineering. Guess its a rough diamond We have a good gunsmith here in Townsville, he's done a lot of work for me in 30 years, for a modest fee Owen got the trigger working correctly & bedded the action properly. You do need good bedding with a .404 & certainly know it when she goes off, especially off a bench doing testing - but this rifle is showing rather good promise in the accuracy department! Thanks to Von Gruff - your load data & projectiles worked a treat! Still to settle on a normal group 2 load with both Woodies & my 400gn cast projectiles yet; guess I'm a sucker when it comes to an accurate rifle, I'm not a good shot by any standard but if I do my part right I can give a few blokes a fright in comps every blue moon! After all it is a .404! Cheers 93x64mm |
