Has anyone heard of a cartridge named the 500 Gibbs 2.5 inch.

I have not heard of it but it is a simple and feasible wildcat, just shorten and blow out the 505 Gibbs case. You don't have a lot of shoulder but it is enough..I built a 505 Gibbs Improved one time...

Yes Mitch,
Rapine Bullet Moulds @ www.bulletmoulds.com
and CH4D Reloading Dies @ www.ch4d.com have
product offerings for this caliber.
Perhaps they can shed more light on it for you. I will look through my notes and email.

Quality Cartridge @ www.owlnet.com lists the cartridge. Perhaps you could contact them in the meantime. I know I have data on it somewhere in my "stuff". Later ... Nick
