    Where have all the Swift A-Frames Gone?

    I buy as many as I can afford when they become available, I am short on 375 300gr A-Frames though. I will have to buy a few boxes the next time they are available.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Father Son Buffalo Hunt With TSALA HUNTING SAFARIS

    Building a 470 Capstick

    I guess the biggest reason I don't want to do a 458 win mag or 458 lot is because I like oddball calibers. I already have 10 boxes of Swift .474 cal 500 grain A-Frames and 3 boxes of Hornady 500 DGX's. I've also been told the 470 Capstick at 2250-2300fps will have less recoil then a similarly...

    Building a 470 Capstick

    I guess I should add that I'm going to have the barrel cut at 23 inches, I'm not looking to push the throttle on this rifle. What i want to do is get about 2250fps, essentially having a rifle that slightly betters my 470 nitro that I can use with optics!

    Building a 470 Capstick

    I'm in the beginning stages of building a 470 Capstick rifle. I plan on using a new production Winchester mod 70 416 rem mag as the donor rifle, a Pacnor barrel, NECG Banded front sight, barrel ban swivel, island rear sight and McMillan safari express stock in the McMillan McWoody finish. My...

    505 Gibbs — Favorite Powders & Presses

    When loading for my 470 Nitro I use a RCBS 50 BMG press, I'm sure it would work great for the 505 Gibbs.
