Holtzy is still around. I did some work for him, seems like a lifetime ago.
I came to the NT as a green kid in 82, hunted for a couple of weeks for my first buff and pig. With 45/70 which i thought was the biggest cal in the world.
NT got under my skin and i kept coming back until i eventually moved here.
Ironically i got nosler partitions bought in at a dollar a projectile and everyone thought i was mad. I still rate the partition as a good projectile. Wasnt much available in controlled expansion in those days.
The 500J is a very nice build , and will have to wait for a buff next year. Ill come back up for a hunt with another forum member. Covid restrictions pending.
Cheers mick
