Ammo availability ????
12/04/07 09:59 PM

Hello All,

As a combination 50th birthday/anniversary/xmas/fathers day gift from my wonderful wife I will very soon be ordering my first double rifle. I've already decided on the make so no need to beat that horse. I've narrowed the caliber(s) down to 2: .500/.416 my caliber of choice or the venerable .470.
Being that I already own a .375 H&H and a .458 Lott I was looking/wanting something in the "upper mid range " caliber thus my choice of the .500/.416.

My question is: in the places of the world where one would most likely use this rifle for it's intended, how available is .500/416 ammo? Does someone else make it besides WR?

I realize with the .470 I can have the gun manufacturer regulate the barrels with Federal ammo which is readily available here in the states along with the fact that ammo of other makes would be fairly easy to acquire else where if needed. As for the .500/416 I'll most likely reload for it, which begs the question of component availability. Who is a good source of cases and dies?

Any information is greatly appreciated and I hope the opinions expressed stay civil.

Best regards,
Longfeather
