500 Grains

I guess I am, sort of. Not his in particular but all 577NEs.
I have had 3 different ones over the years. I just sold one for $10,000 more than I would have ever thought it was worth.

In checking on prices for 577s I found a few things. They bring a lot more money than an equivalent 470. They sell in a matter of days, not weeks. The people that are looking for them seem to want to hunt with them.

When I refer to Holy Grail I mean as carry and hunting rifles. I have had 577 that range in weight from 10.5 lbs to 14 pounds. 14 is too heavy, IMO, 10.5 is easy to carry as a 470 but a little more recoil. Not too much during hunting to bother with though.

The one I decided to keep is a 577 2.75 750 Gr load. Weighs 11 pounds with 5500ft.lbs of energy. About ideal if I ever go back to Africa.

Most people think that a 577 is the very top they could shoot and hunt with. If so, why would so many people want them and want to shoot them
