Alf, Interesting! When i asked Norma why they are presenting loads for the .505 Gibbs in their new reloading manual i got a very strange answer, sort of:
"-It is a very interesting cartridge and there might be new demands for it and there will be a need for cases..."
As i understand it Norma will start to make brass for George Gibbs .505

The key there is probably "real interest." I admit I bought a 9.3x62 for no reason whatsoever, and would probably buy a 404 for no reason whatsoever.
I do think the 550 Magnum action would be wasted on a 404, as in the case of the .375. It would be nice to just use the 550 action, but they may not ask me.
I bought a 9.3x62 for no real reason as well jut because Ray & others said it was good. I will buy a .505 for no good reason as well. I just like calibres thats all !!
I will be furstrated if they bring a .404 out because of all the expense I am going to with a 1909 mauser to have one built....I would be just as happy with your plain old cz 550.
