Why Would One Pick A .495 A2 Over .500A2
What Does The "GHOST SHOULDER" Do for the .495 A2. Does it make reloading easier? If so why not put a G/S on 458 Lott, 500A2 500 NE, 577, 600, 700 NE's? No change would be needed to the rifle's chambers.

The 495 A2 is short enough to fit into a Model 70 action, but the 500 A2 requires a bigger action, such as an Enfield, CZ550 or Granite Mountain Arms.

The SD on the .495 is always in the single didgets. That's why I like it better.
