    Safari Raptor by Cutting Edge bullets for .500 Nitro Express

    Thank you for your response. I presume you have a .500 NE rifle. So, I have some follow-up questions. Mine is regulated with 570 gr bullets, 106 gr of H-4350 at 2150 fps. You said that for you, regulation was easy. Was the initial regulation for your rifle done with heavier bullets? Could you...

    I’m relatively experienced with reloading. I do “blending” for my powders too. All my experience however is with smaller cartridges. Thank you for the info.

    Safari Raptor by Cutting Edge bullets for .500 Nitro Express

    I will definitely post an update if I can justify the price of the bullets. The website states that the minimum order for these bullets is 250 pieces. I really don’t need that many. 100-150 should be enough to develop loads and hunt a few times. I usually practice with a SxS 12 gauge shotgun...

    Thank you, JoninCo. I really appreciate your willingness to help. But, actually, I have found and bought a used copy. Allegedly, it's in the mail. I might ask for your help if I don't receive it for whatever reason.

    500 Nitro Express 3.25” - newbie question

    Thank you for your reply. It has a Butch Searcy action. See pictures below. I am good at reloading, but all my experience is with much smaller cartridges. The largest in my arsenal up until now was the 338 Lapua Magnum. I have a lot of Varget and Retumbo left from the good old days. Would I be...

    500 Nitro Express 3.25” - newbie question

    I’m new to double rifles. Just bought 500 NE with 3.25” chamber. So, I have a newbie question: Can I shoot 3” ammo in a case I loose luggage or run out of 3 1/4 ammunition on safari?
