Re: New .500NE double - what ammo to regulate with?

Congratulations on your new rifle. Jealous of course but cannot wait to see it.

It has been a long time since I used Swift A Frame at low velocity and I was not happy with the performance. Perhaps they have changed in the intervening time but I will never know as I will not experiment again with them. They are great at moderate and high velocity but not so much when they start at around 2100 fps.

I am a big fan of Woodleighs and since you are reloading I would go with the nickel cases. They go through dies fine and also seem to stay cleaner in your pocket, belt or wherever. Nickel cases just seem, to me, to always load smoother than brass, particularly if they have been carried for awhile. Also easier to find in the grass if you decide to pick them up.

Why not just load up around 40 rounds yourself and send them to Holland to regulate your rifle? That way you know that you can always duplicate it. Chances of finding 500 NE loaded ammo of any type in a hunting area are nil anyway.

Again congratulations.
