Mickey..thank you for the welcome .Are you the same Mickey

in accuratere loading?

Should I be? I think you will find that this is a much more civilized site than AR. We let them keep their discussions over there.

We have many of the same posters with a much friendlier and helpful atmosphere.

Welcome to the site. I concur with everyone else that is site is far far superior and much more civil than AR. As proof I put forth the fact that they haven't banned me yet.

Enjoy!

That is amazing! I agree, it must be a real lenient place or Scott Sweet wouldn't be here for sure! Just kidding.
I'm not really not prone to throwing rocks, as I live in a glass house as well, and the same door that will let one in or out, swings close to my butt as well ! I've never been banned any place, but there is a first time for everything! Sometimes it gets hot enough I have to hold my breath to avoid breathing the flames!

Anyway, you'll love it here! Again welcome.

Mac,

You're in good shape. You still have a three star rating . I apparently ticked someone off badly enough to get a one star .

By the way, welcome AKA. There is a lot of knowledge to be gained from this forum.

If you can afford a Bots Ele and a new 577 you can afford the ammo.

I'm leaning toward the 577. Even at 10.5 pounds yours kicks less than the 460? Thanks again

I don't know if it recoils less but it feels as if it recoils less and is less sharp. A Double that you are having made should fit like a glove. A factory made WB is what it is, a little bit of everything, like Budweiser.

Practice shooting standing up and don't get fuckitis and think you need to play with all different bullets. If you get a Searcy use his regulation loads and be happy.

If you decide on another caliber than I think a you ought to get a 470 in case you decide to pass it along after the Safari. It will be easier to move.


If it was me I would get a 577 2 3/4 regulated for the 750 grain bullet at 1900fps. Built at 10-11 pounds. I have a Hollis like that and it may be my favourite big Double, certainly the one I choose to hunt with.
