.500 vs .577 vs .600 NE

Hmmm, it is interesting that the 450 and 470 cartridges both shoot bullets in the 480-500 grain range.

Is one considered superior to the other - I suppose the 458 bullets penetrate better and the 470s have larger frontal area?

They are two peas in a pod. .470 came about as a replacement when the Brits banned .458 caliber cartridges.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
