I would like to try them in a 505 Gibbs but there are only 600grain solids available? As the rifle will be used for elephant only I would like to use the solid not the cup point. I would prefer 525-535 grain.

Thank you!

I've heard from multiple sources that your bullets are the best available, bar none!
but I cant afford them right now. I'll definitely be shooting them when i graduate from college

I am sure that most of you guys have visited the Terminal Thread here on big bores, but in case someone misses the North Forks I will post some samples of the test work I have been doing with them. It's my job to find a problem, or issue, or seek out where the bullets fail, I can find none of this with the North Forks, and that is the reason I have chosen North Fork as a source of bullets for my .500 caliber rifles. These bullets will enhance your cartridges capabilities far beyond conventional bullets, and in many cases other premiums as well. First class Nose profile for the solids, first class premium bonded bullets, and one of the finest non conventional bullets ever devised by man, the Cup Points!

No, I don't get paid by North Fork, I am just excited about these bullets! I am a bullet nut, and good ones do this to me! LOL

























North Fork bullets will be a very large part of all my endeavors in the field in the future. I think you can see why!

Michael

I would love to see a 10% off sale on your bullets up here in Canada..

michael458,

These NF bullets are the cat's whiskers.
What was the expanded diameter of these 250 gr NF Soft points?

Would be interesting to see their penetration at 9,3x62 velocities of between 2,250 to 2,300 fps?
A comparative like that would be most useful, if you could oblige.

Thanks for your tremendous effort in your search for the ultimate Solid.
Looks like 65% to 66% meplat is the ticket with a cone-type ogive.
After your study Solids will be transformed to a new level.

Warrior

JaegerFrank,

We do have 525gr for the .505 in both FPS and CPS solids. Please give the us a call at: (541) 929-4016. It is just not a standard stocked item as most people now shoot the 600gr. But you are in luck as we have a couple of boxes on our shelves.

Thanks for your interest in our products.

Regards,
North Fork

p.s. We don't pay Michael458 anything, but we like taking his money.

Hi Warrior

I agree, NF are transforming bullet tech to new levels! I have not taken the time to measure the diameter of these, but if I can remember to do so, I will get it for you in the morning.

I would be happy to drop the velocity of these for a 9.3X62 test. I also have a box of 286s that I have not had time to test yet either.

Yes, we have worked the solids over pretty hard the last year, and I think we have some good ideas about them now, far more than when we started.


North Fork

Well what can I say, I am a bullet freak! In my search for the best, I stumbled across North Fork, now I am getting spoiled and lazy! Anyway, bullets are better than money, money is just "dirty paper", bullets "change the world"!

Michael

@North Fork: Many thanks I have already sent an ordermail!

Could not resist to order 416 FPS also....

Bullets are still too expensive for what they deliver!! Get them cost wise more inline with Woodleigh and Swift, regardless of what Michael says!!!!!!

Scott

No, man, you must listen, just dirty paper, you can get more of that! They make it by the ton. Good bullets are not so easy to come by you see!

Thing is I like and use, have used a lot of Swifts and Woodleighs, still do, but North Forks provide some bullets and performance that just can't be had by some other bullet companies. The Cup Point Expanding solid. I am completely taken with these, and I believe they are the beginning of a new era in bullet tech, a lead in Non Conventional bullets. They do in fact deliver something that Woodleigh and Swift cannot do, extreme trauma transfer, and deep penetration.



Price wise the only thing that Woodleigh has that can compare directly to a North Fork, not bonded core bullets, is their new Hydros, and they are over $3 each, quite a bit more than the North Forks! In fact, I can buy 1 North Fork and 1 Swift A Frame for the cost of 1 Woodleigh Hydro!

I use and buy a lot of custom made CNC bullets for my .500s. Actually North Fork prices are very comparable with top first class custom bullets.

Now these are not something we sit and target practice with, and shoot for plinking of course, but for what they are designed for the price is cheap when it comes down to it. In fact the cheapest part of a very expensive hunt is the bullet, I am not going to quibble too much about bullet price on a buffalo, elephant or lion hunt, but my utmost concern is that the bullet does it's job and what I ask of it.

Michael

Michael,

Having extensive experience with Woodleigh SN and PSP it will be difficult for me (and probably others so inclinded) to justify the additional expense of the North Forks! I mention the Swifts only because they are ever so slightly more costly than the Wooleighs. I only use the Woodleighs for practice & hunting in both my 416 and 510s because they are the most accurate and they are MY preference for hunting bullet based off of MY field experience not some terminal ballistic test apparatus.

My statement was only that they (North Fork) would be MUCH more competitive IF their price was more inline with the competition.

Like Michael I will not worry about a couple of cents for bullets. Shortly I will shooting elephant and buff with NF solids out of my 470 and plainsgame with North Fork Softs in my 375. I fully expect to prove out the results of my terminal ballistic test apparatus.

North Fork,

I will send you some info upon my return.

Scott

Very Excellent. I have a lot of Woodleighs I would like to sell you for practice in .510, lot's of FMJs if you are interested. I would not recommend hunting with them, but good for practice. My preference because of MY test work and MY field experience lie elsewhere.

I don't know, nor care about North Forks business, and it's none of my business. But in my business I don't want to be known as the cheapest, or the most competitive, I want my business to be known as being the "Best" at what we do, for a reasonable price!

Michael

Mike

Time is getting shorter. We all are going to be looking very much forward to field reports of your success!

I already have bets laid out and (know the outcome ahead of time) Just the sneak preview you lay out above is going to do the trick, no ifs, no ands, and no buts! What you see, Is what you get!

M

Michael,
If one compares apples to apples the Woodleigh hyrdos cost more than the North Fork FPS or CPS. In MY experience for buffalo the additional expense of the North Fork Soft Point in comparison to a Woodleigh PSP is not justified. Since I am not interested at this time in hunting ele I will respectfully decline your gracious offer to sell me the Woodleigh solids. Now if you have PSP Woodleighs in either .416 or .510 flavors what is your asking price as I might be interested?

Best regards

By the way, just what business are you in, since your brought it up?

I am a Forester by profession.

I shoot the NF 450 grain .458 bullets thru my .458 Lott. They are incredibly accurate. They make my DG rifle shoot like a varmint rifle.

I have not seen any one report that was less than elated with the performance.

I am stocked for this year, but anyone who needs some 10% will cover shipping and a little more.

Good Stuff!

Rich

I am glad I waited until stocking up for the proof of concept push this fall .

ScottS,

We will never be the ones to tell you how to spend your money. Woodleigh makes a great bullet, but a bullet that only works in a very small velocity window. If they work great for you, then maybe there is no reason for you to change.

We have designed our bullets to be what we believe is the very best, without taking compromises in design and material. Our design does not easily lend itself to mass production like the Woodleighs PSP or Swifts A-Frames (again, both excellent bullets in their own rights). We have just taken the stance that we will not compromise the design to make it cheaper (i.e. TBBC - compare originals to Federal's).

We don't make bullets for plinking, for target shooting, for ultra-long range sniping, but bullets for the important hunt. We Americans are a funny sort. We have no troubles spending thousands on a gun(s), trucks, gas, time-off, travel, and planning for an up and coming hunt, then try to save money on a box of bullets. The bullet is the most important component of the hunt (besides getting there).

We have just completed testing with a 300 Win. Mag. in a new Savage (~$340 w/scope). An amazing deal and got it to shoot less than 1/2"groups (100yrds) with our .308-180gr SS. One questions why anyone would need a custom rifle with that kind of performance until one picks up a custom rifle that is fitted to them, night a day difference. The same can be said with bullets.

Keep pressing us. We do try to accomodate. But anyone who has started a business knows it is a catch 22 when it comes to volume vs. price/cost.

Regards,
North Fork

"We Americans are a funny sort" You hit the nail on the head! People will spend $10000 on a buffalo and $25000 on an elephant but are too cheap to spend $2 to $3 a bullet to shoot them with.

BBW

would you consider making a 577, possible a 560 grains or a 650 grains ?

That 9.3 B&M looks like it would be just about the ulimtate elk hunting caliber!!

Well, you might just have an excellent point, I suppose the 9.3 B&M would do a fine job on elk and similar size critters. Then when you consider it's built on a Win M70 WSM action, 20 inch barrel, 7.5 lbs, then the story gets even better I would think.



Michael

I'm happy to announce that North Fork will have an agency in Australia by the end on 2010 - http://www.accurateshooters.com.au/ - the paper war has begun anyway. We'll keep you posted and let you know as soon as bullets are available downunder.
Evan

Lott

This is incredibly good news, especially for some of my Aussie buddies there with 50 B&Ms and 500 MDMs. They will be able to get the new .500 caliber bullets from North Fork! They will be excited about this!

Do keep us posted on this and let us know when approved!

Michael
