Is anyone commercial producing 505 Gibbs ammo?
 
Norma, nosler and double tap all load 505 but like everything else I doubt you’ll find any in stock at the moment. Swift shows 505 on their website but I’ve never seen any in person.
 
Thanks - No luck finding anything so far. I am looking for one box of current ammo, preferably from Norma, but would consider others. I can, of course, load. However, I have a build project just getting started and want box of factory loads for standards. I do have one round of vintage Kynoch, which will probably work.
 
Norma and Double Tap both used to load their .505 Gibbs ammunition with Woodleigh bullets - Which is (hopefully temporarily) not in production, at the moment. Which is why you won't be seeing their ammunition for a while.

I have some I can part with. I have to get to it and see exactly what I have so give me a bit and I'll get back to you. It will be 600 grain loads, probably Woodliegh bullets.
 
I've got a box each of Norma African PH loaded with Woodliegh 600 grain Protected Point Softs and 600 grain full metal jacket. Plus another partial box of 6 softs.

PM with your offer if interested. Open to trades or will sell.

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe
