Steve,
after seeing the 585 nyati in the field, I can tell you that it's the STUFF for a 585 caliber.... as Rob posted, that 750 gr woodliegh retain 738+ gr, after a ~50-60 running shot on eland... it was AWESOME....

any faster, though, say 200+ fps, and I would guess that the bullet would come apart...

and, since the 585 can be built on a cz550 action, you aren't talking a huge deal of money...

you are left handed, right? call montana rifleman and get on the list for a LH PH action, though their long action probably would work

Can someone post a picture of this cartridge
I would like to see how it looks.

Cheers,

Andr�

thank you 500 for the information....wheeeeewwwww that will definitly save me some trouble.


dosnt really matter i will most likly be shooting monolithic solids out of this rifle anyways.

500g,
sorry, my mistake..

I I were you, I would go for the 577 Tyrannosaur caliber. It shoots 750 grs bullets to 2600 f/s and 800 grs FN solids from GS Custom should pass the 2500 f/s mark..
THAT is power.
Excellent brass is available from Horneber.

700Nitro- Please first do a search on the 585 Nyati and spend some real time thinking real hard about what your getting into. The 585 NYATI has major design problems and every one I have ever seen will not feed reliably. THERE are some basic reasons why. Given the problems with the NYATI why oh why in thw world would you consider an even more obscure wildcat for which brass does not exist. If you don't believe me just ask Butch Searcy. The .600 OK was designed purposly to eliminate these problems and it does just that.It can be loaded down or up too. Talk to ED Plumer at AHR and send him $10K( he can give me half) and he will be happy to send you a RELIABLE .600OK. I know you won't listen, but I just had so say my 2 cents worth. Good Luck-Rob

actually rob i have dropped the 585 nyatie and 585 van horn idea all together.......





i will probabaly just order a 510 wells and a 577 nitro double rifle.





i have been fallowing the 550 magnum and 600 ok projects not closly but enough to peek my interest could you post some 600 ok cartrige diagrames... please and thank you.
