500 NE target
#36231 - 21/08/05 01:27 PM

I took my Searcy .500 NE out to try out some of the fiber optic beads available from NECG. The target below was shot at 60 yards and shows the results.

The group in the X ring was 2 shots of 570 grain Woodleigh solids, using a 6 o'clock hold. Since that was too high, I switched to the next lowest fiber optic bead.

Then I shot 2 more shots of the Woodleighs, but apparently was not concentrating well as they spread a bit. Then 2 shots of GS Custom 570 grain FN solids grouped well for a dead on hold. Finally 2 shots of Bridger 550 grain FN solids grouped well. It looks like this bead will work fine for a dead on hold.

500grains, all are very good groups for a 500NE double rifle, but those GS Custom, and Bridger solids are top of the heap! The whole composite group of all the bullets is not bad for a 500NE at 60 yds! I predict a Buffalo may just bite the dust with this rifle, which ever you choose to use!

Mac, the GS and the Bridgers have always been very accurate in this rifle (and in other rifles). But to be fair to Woodleigh, they shoot better in the gun than I shoot, so there is no accuracy disadvantage in using them.

My lead bullet load is about 4 inches at 50 yards.
