my wife says I spend way too much time on my hobbies

Jeff: what wife doesn´t say that?. By the way, I also don´t like the 378 Weatherby. Did you try an 8 bore?. Very interesting experience, I assure you.

Jeff,

There is a point where it moves from being a hobby to being an obsession. Go on, admit it. You have a problem. Same as the rest of us. You love this stuff.

Hi, my name is David and I'm a rifle junky.

Happpy Memorial Day all,

David Walker
Bout to go hunt up a donor for the 470AR

Jeff:

What did you think of the 500 A-Square? I have a PH action on order from MRC and I am trying to figure out what to put in it. It's a natural for the .505 Gibbs but I was thinking about a .500 A-Square as well.

Dave

Hello, I'm Mike,

I'm a rifle addict who is not recovering. I aspire to do half of Jeffe's list

Too many chamberings ... too little time!

But its not so much about the size of the list, as how often you use it, eh?

One of the GREAT things about the guys here on AR is. Thhey will share thier TOYS and ammo. So there is a chane to play many different chamberings.

Thanks guys.

Keith

These are some of the bigbores I've owned and still shoot a few of them.

Dave,
the 500A2 is a great round, just don't run it at godzilla pressures all the time.

HOWEVER, for the PH, i do suggest the 500 AR, as when loaded with BMG bullets, it COULD be made to feed from the PH mag!

Chris and Keith ... its amazing how many of our calibers are not just the same caliber, but the same gun! We all over to share!

Mike - Heh, spend a weekend in Houston, Shooting.. we can get most of these to the range on short notice!

I may have shot jeffe's 500 Jeffery back in the day but can't recall for sure.

Pending:

500 AR
416/505 Gibbs
550/505 Gibbs
whatever else comes down the pike

Harry,
I believe you did shoot both the 500 jeffe and the 500 AR..

I know I missed the AR; I've had bad scheduling problems the last few bubba shoots. But I think I shot the Jeffery the first time I was invited.

I am so far behind

606 Mammoth
470 NE
444 Marlin
458 Lott
416 Rem Mag
375 H&H
500 S&W
460 S&W
44 Mag

These are all big bore rifles I own or have owned…

I got no big bore buds in my area to let me shoot their toys…

375 H&H (own 1 sold 1)
416 Rigby (own 1 sold 1)
44 Magnum (own 1)
45 Long Colt (own 1)
45-70 (own 3)
458 Winchester Magnum (own 1)
458 Lott (own 1 sold 2)
505 Gibbs (sold 1)
50 BMG (sold 1)
600 Overkill (own 1)

To come:

700H when MRC actions come in
Probably build 12GA FH after Africa if I’m not completely broke…

Would like to eventually have 500 and 577 to fill the gap between my Lott and Overkill (It’s all about being well rounded)…

Wow, my list is rather short.

9.3x64 (P-17 Action)
375 H&H (CZ 550)
11.2x72 (Kreighoff-Heinrich)
500 Jeffery (Remington 30S)
12.7x70 (August Schuler)

Way behind!

I will add in my 50 cal. White muzzleloader with 600 grain bullets, and a 5 1/2# 10 gauge single shot I use for a coyote-calling lap gun. Both of those get your attention.

Here's what is likely to be the shortest list.
577 NE
404 Jeff.
I didn't see the need for owning big bore rifles in anything other than these two calibres. The 375 is a medium bore

Man, I'm just a babe in the woods here!

Yeah, me too.

550 Gibbs ( Rich's )
50 BMG ( wish it was mine )
458 Lott mine
458 WM mine

Dern, I got some catchin' up to do. 'Specially in the double rifle catagories!

.500 Nitro (PH's in Africa)
.470 Nitro (Mine)
.416 Rem. (Mine)
.375 H&H (Two both mine)

I also have a 458 Lott and a 9.3 by 62 (for wife) I have shamefully not taken the time to shoot.

50 BMG (Off hand Bolt)
458 Lott RSM - Mine

Waiting on My 500 Jeffery, Haven't reloaded my RSM 416 Rigby yet.

Brad

Mine's short too. The list damnit.

375 H&H
416 Rigby

I really gotta make the next big bore shoot in Houston.

David

Maybe the topic should have been "big bores hunted with," or "big bores we wish we would/could have hunted with or shot." In that case... 450/400 3" and/or 450/400 3 1/4". I'll throw in the 404 J. The answers to the real topic are uninteresting and previously stated.

I'm no where near the level of experence here.
