505 Gibbs

Found this interesting @Hunting Hitman & owners alike .. less this is old news.

Had both 500 Jeffery and 505 Gibbs. 500 J for me thanks. Shorter/Smaller action, and I've had no trouble getting 2250 fps out of a 22" barrel. All that said, they are both fine killers.

Shot them both and it was the Gibbs for me

You can load the cartridge up to as much as you can handle.
My load is very comfortable at 570 grains 2200 fps.

I soaked these 540's up long ago, simply .. they were cheap. Noticeable, but I've never heard the Jeffery crack the sound barrier like these?
