I was going to have Empire build me a 505 Empire one day, and had Superior load a box of 10 softs and 10 solids. The bullets were 600 gr. Woodleigh SN and FMJ. I never had the rifle built and Empire went bankrupt.

The cases are marked Qual-Cart and 505 Empire. So, no help on case origin, like 460 Wby.

Since Jeffeosso had input on the design, I guess he would know. Thought I could help until I looked at the cases.

casehead dimensions and belt are "very close" - one could make the cases from the same basic case
