N. Garrett500 Jeffery Bullet diameter
I too am having a 500 Jeff. built, on a Whitworth Mauser that was originally a 300 Weatherby.
I notice that everyone here seems to going with the .510 bullets, instead of the .508.
Is there a reason for that, outside of bullet availability?
I thought most original Jefferys were .508 bores.
Regards,
Garrett
