A round with a great history, an absolute stopper. It’s a beautiful gun and a fair price. This is a cartridge that will keep you honest. Picture is a on a day when I guess I was not honest.

Ouch!

With the caveat about my rule against commenting on items offered under "Classifieds," I am curious about the 505 Gibbs cartridge ballistics. Using "Any Shot You Want," it appears that the Gibbs typically requires more powder to achieve the same or even less velocities than either the 500 Jeffery or the 500 A-Square (which I personally own and load) and generally with a lighter bullet, e.g. 525gr in the Gibbs vs 570gr in the latter two cartridges (actually 600gr in the A-Square).

Correct the 500 Jeff is a more efficient cartirdge

FWIW..........505 is my favorite monster cartridge. When I was deciding between this and the Jeff, Phillip Massaro of American Hunter who was shooting both, said: "I have seen more than one occasion where a worn magazine follower failed to pick up the cartridge from the rebated rim on the 500 Jeff" (paraphrased from memory). That, and the Jeff's short little neck for reloading, pushed me toward the 505. It's monstrous case....bigger than the Jeff or the A-sq, does require a bit more powder, but it has a low chamber pressure, and on the top end, one can load a 600 grainer to whatever level your recoil tolerance permit. I think this was a good buy............'grats to seller and buyer.......JMO.........FWB

Yes very true, but loaded full tilt it’s faster with a bullet weights and you will pay in recoil. My 500j loaded to same speed has far less recoil. It’s also much lighter.

500 Jeff can also be loaded with 600gr at whatever velocity you can handle but high sd premium bullet in 510 caliber at about 2300fps are just what you need for dg

IVW, why all this worry about the 500j short neck? One of the best selling rounds of all time and one of my favorite the 300wm has a very short neck, I’ve never seen one that didn’t shoot well. Feeding is based more on the shoulder angle than more than anything else. Maybe I’m wrong.

I got both so I wont comment either way. I am less sensitive to Recoil. All my load devolopment are made using led sled rest. Shooting off hand they are not as punishing as 338/378 wby or 378 wby.
