Chuck,

Wish you the very best with your health issues mate....get well soon and get to Africa. Nothing like having something brilliant to look forward to when your a little ill, health tends to want to improve on its own. LoL

With the 500 Jeffery, agreed, use what works in your rifle, clearly terminal performance is these rifles is everything, we are talking DGR after all, BUT reliability in feeding is just as important. Accuracy.....well I'n not so sure. I would argue anything up to 3 -4 MOA is probably adequate for these functions. Jeez, we're normally shooting things as big as a SUV at 20 yards !!

Being mad shooters we tend to want our DGR's to shoot like vermin rifles ( and there's not a lot wrong with this ), BUT I wouldn't be that fussed should things not work out that way. For the record, my 500 shoots ragged holes at 50 and 100 yards with the previously mentioned loads so I tend to be rather blase about the whole thing.

Either way, get well, load the big Jeffery and enjoy Africa, best of luck with it mate.
