Thanks a lot for your help guys, I really appreciate it! Factory ammo for the doubles here is F!@#$%^&^%$#@!g expensive if you can get it, so with the volume of rounds that will have to go through it as a working gun, my thought was to reload my own, I have been reloading for all my other calibers for some time now, and I feel that I am fairly competent. My question: Is it that much more difficult loading for these NE rounds if the correct powders,and projectiles are available, obviously I have never loaded any "BIG BOY" ammo other than the .458, so I am naturally cautious. 2nd Question: would both the .470, and the .500 be capable of banging out projectiles of between 400-500gr solids, and softs (I understand that some doubles are limited in projectile grainage, this is more of a general question) at around 1900-2100 fps? Sorry if these are simple questions, but I'd rather know now than when I have to bounce an angry Mbogo, or Ele!

Thanks again.
