What bullets are available for the .505 caliber? Barnes has made a 570g X, I think, and has a 600g solid, there's Woodleigh, Hawk I think, and GS Custom if you can get them, A-Square if they come together.... Who am I missing? Seems like most everyone's load data is with Barnes. Also would love any input as to bullet performance. | ||

I think the Barnes 570 grain X bullet is .510 diameter. I wish it were available in .505 though. | |||

Barnes will draw down the .510"/570's, if the order is big enough. Kenai Capt. & I just bought 160 together. They coated them for us with the blue stuff. Nice. | |||

Some older brands that used to make them but I haven't heard much from lately... Star. Naval Ordnance Thunderbird(solids). Another Australian business may be putting bigbore bullets out in the near future..but I can't say too much Karl. | |||

Kodiak makes them and they are a real fine bullet according to Master Alaskan and gun editor Phil Shoemaker who shots a 505 Gibbs.. Barnes bullets are .509 The Gibbs is a .505 bore, the 500 Jefferys is a .510 bore... | |||

Why do we need anything other than the Woodleighs? In my experience the Woodleigh's offer the best combination of accuracy and terminal performance. I see no reason for anything else. Of course I may be missing something. Scott | |||
