Well decision time is here. My rifle's at AHR having some work done and this would be the time to rebarrel it from 375 H&H. I figure I can load the Capstick down to 470 Nitro levels or the 500 Jeffery down to 500 Nitro levels for elk hunting until I get to Africa. Any advice?

Are you absolutely 110% certain that AHR can make a .500 Jeff feed flawlessly and perfectly? If not, then don't even think about it or you will end up with a box of junk parts like a lot of other people who hoped for a .500 jeff.

Instead, get a .500 A-Square. Cheaper brass, made by Norma (good quality), easier to get to feed.

You can load a .500 A2 or a .500 Jeff down to 45-70 if you want.

The .470 capstick is excellent and I am a great fan of it. It is the equivalent of a 458 Lott.
