Phil McFall577 NE 2 3/4" loads help
A friend is trying to work up some loads for a rifle built on a Martini action in 577 Nitro Express 2 3/4" but we know nothing and are stumbling around in the dark. He has 560 gr Jacketed bullets that he thinks are Woodleigh's.
I have been all over the net trying to find load data but so far it has been pretty sketchy. Do any of you guys have data?
Thanks
Phil

bpesteveGraeme Wright's "Shooting the British Double Rifle" has several loads for both NE and BPE versions. I don't have the book in front of me but I will later today if no one else comes up with data for you.
