Put me in they Q if this falls out. I’ll take them, too

Hah, Wesheltonj has figured it out! Many a Texas ranch with a new Hilux and Mexican plates!

Ross Heath is solid. Old school mentality, young man push. I wish Zambia wasn’t so expensive or I’d hunt there most every Safari.

or a Heym 88b double in said caliber

The older I get, I’m finding successful therapy in the study of cartridge history and load development. Wanting to buy a single shot in 9.3x74r, from an established contributor of the AH site. Thank you in advance. Fenstar

That is a pretty neat piece of history! Good luck w restoration!

Next in line!

Philip-our ranch is in Ballinger. Would be fun to talk Africa around the fire some time! Fenstar

Sorry, I am out. Not to tech savvy - so thanks guys.

I’ll take it- will pm in the morning. Fenstar

AZDAVE- I’m glad you said it first… my .500J and my .505G are my favorites to tinker with and shoot!

The 9.3 metrics have my attention lately. Looking for a plain jane, #1, in a not so plain jane caliber. With all the scammers on the “wanted to buy” heading, I’d like to only deal with mature AH members. If you have a rifle for sale, please post “pm sent” before sending a pm. What I appreciate...

Thank you for sharing- useful information to keep!

I’ve been doing load development w the .505 Gibbs- and I’m here to say it’s like no load development I’ve ever done. Wow! You know when you pull the trigger!

Raptor59 helped me with Accubonds (Thank you!) but the 250g A Frames are still a no go. Load development will start regardless. Thank you all for the help!

Thank you for input.

I’ve been a handloader for a long time- but I tend to be old school and big bore. Primers types were always easy to determine. The 9.3x62 has had my attention for a long time… just now, it has my focused attention. From what I gather, 286g bullets work best with RL-17 and Big Game powder. 250g...

Sorry, Jason367. Pre- coffee I pulled trigger too soon. Looking for 250 gr Accubonds and A Frames, not BTips. Thank you, though! Fenstar

I’ll take it. Thank you Jason367. PM Sent.

I’ve email several times to get the “small animal” copy- no response. Either email on internet is wrong or just non responsive.

I have plenty of Woodleigh to trade, if interested- .375 - .510 and all in between.

Swift A Frames .366 @ 250 gr., and Nosler Accubonds, .366 @ 250 gr. If anyone can part with some I’d say thank you very much!

I’ll take it. Sending pm now. Big farming family with lots of high energy, hunting nephews. Nice gun for sure.

I’ll take it. Pm sent.

Green Chile, right again! .275 is the only real answer.

Got moved up to summer cabin in Sandpoint Idaho, for summer. I was supposed to get on weeds, mowing, planting, spring cleaning- I went straight to reloading room and loaded .505 Gibbs, .500 Jeffery and .450 NE! Good to be back!

Green Chile is correct in my opinion… the .450 NE is the real darling of the bunch. Good luck on search.

I’ll take it if not sold.

I’ve hunted w Duckworth’s a few times. Charted airplane one, drove Harare one… drive is best in my opinion. The drive puts you into the mood of Africa, before you reach camp. The anticipation build to reach camp, start Safari, for me, was priceless. Gary Duckworth, Barry and Bertie, Neil and...

Going to Africa a month ago- nothing. Coming back from Africa on the Delta flight, yes… and worked well.

good choice- Grant is absolutely top notch.

.505 and .510, 570 gr solid and soft.

Literally on a plane back from Zim / Africa now. .450 NE, 480 gr solid was one shot down at 20 yds, side brain. .500 Jeffery, 570 gr solid on previous hunt w Ele was same result. This year, red dot on double made things 100% easier, with aging eyes. Good luck. Shot placement is everything.

I have a whole fish camp / boats / motors / gear on the Nushigak for the brave to take over! We set up camp early June, for years, and had a great time with the Kings and sockeyes (silvers in early Aug). Been there, done that- plus sold my beloved 1956 DeHaviland Beaver on floats. Fishing isn’t...

Thank you both! Good info to utilize, if no one on the site has a hidden old box they would part with. I know this is a needle in haystack search. Thx again.

All, I have a friend who has a nice old .475 NE double- needing reloading supplies for a Botswana Elephant hunt. 480g solids, .483 diameter. Thanks in advance!

I will take this off your hands.. thank you

Keep talking about your handload recipes for your .505 G. Lon Paul finishing up his touches on my .505 G hopefully in next week or two. Buff on the bill in Mozambique next year. Can’t wait to shoot the rifle!

I’ll take the Falconry print #2

Put me next in line if sale falls through. Thanks

…. also in .300 HH

Grant Taylor, Mashambanzou Safaris, is a stand up guy, and puts on a great safari. I’d highly recommend him- he will be at DSC

I’ll take them, if not sold.

Funds sent today. Thank you.

I’ll still take it… but don’t know how private PM works, so hope you know how to get ahold of me!

Rings included? If so, I’ll take it.

Please report on your .500J load development.

Lon Paul

John is spot on.. (but I’d even suggest 2100-2200 fps), 2200 fps, with the right bullet, is the .505 sweet spot. Don’t be afraid of fillers- the end user doesn’t know the difference… but the shooter does! Powder burn rates and powder charge weights make you love a .505 or hate it. Enjoy!

Is there any way you could show the “build sheet”… length of pull, barrel lengths, etc? Beautiful rifle. I think it would be difficult for me to sell this beauty if it were mine.
