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?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.
That’s a very nice rifle . Who is the maker ?
I have both a .500 J and .505 G. Nostalgia take me to the .505 Gibbs- until I shoot it… flip and dang does that thing kick!… but nostalgia has me loving this rifle. If I had to choose, it’s the .500 Jeffery, between the two. I found it to be smooth feeder ( thank you, Wayne, AHR), predictable blast and very accurate. Life is too short… I’m hunting with both! Last year .500 J on elephant. This year .450 NE, Elephant ( guys the .450 NE double is by far my favorite! ). Next year, out comes the mighty .505 Gibbs, Ele and buff. Hunt report will be posted
