Great post. As the owner of a 577 3 3/4 750 and the former owner of a 577 2 3/4 650 Alex Henry (boy was that a mistake to sell) I applaud you.

My rifle is loaded to 1800 and produces a bit over 5200 ft/lbs. It is a wonder with about the same recoil as a 470. I have never loaded any rifle down but after reading some of these last post am considering it.

I think the 650 is a better choice but at the time the bullets were for BP and not worth much.

Here is a picture of an Alex Martin that is owned by a friend in RSA. He has shot thirty some Elephants with it and over 500 Cape Buffalo in Rhodesia in the 70's cropping. It is for sale but I don't know the price.

Bye the way, IMHO, if Boddington knew half as much about Doubles as he claims he would know twice as much as he does.
