I think it's because the magazine box is quite wide. 5 rounds went in and I closed the bolt over them. Having a 6-shot big-bore may come in handy one day, although I hope a few rounds less will always be enough.

What do you think about take down feature that Heym now offers for this rifle ? Is it as strong as non take down version ?



What is your opinion ?

I haven't seen the new take-down, only the website pictures and info :-

My initial reaction is, why? Unless you intend switching barrels or need to pack the rifle into a small space I'd rather have the security of 1-piece construction.

Even though its a hard kicker, that bolt looks like it is way too far forward to me!.

I really like the Heym Safari Express, and your .416 looks and sounds like a great rifle. This is probably one of the best, if not THE best factory dangerous game bolt-guns ever offered by any firearms company. The only criticism I have of the Heym Safari Express rifle, at least the ones I've handled, is that I don't think the oil-type stock finish is very well done. They don't take it far enough (not enough coats), and the wood pores aren't properly-filled, but this is something that you can rectify yourself at home if need be.......

JefferyDenmark,

Did the Kynoch ammo give sticky extraction sometimes? I found that some of my Bertram brass gave sticky extraction, but other Bertram brass with the same load did not. The same load in another brand of brass did not stick at all.

Yes about 50% of the Kynoch ammo from Kynamco gave a sticky extraction and I have heard from Wolfgang Romey that Westley Richards complained to Kynamco about this. I think Kynamco uses Bertram brass this is bases on intel from Jeffeosso whom confronted Kynamco with this at a shoot show in the states.
I will not reload this brass but only use brass from Dieter Horneber Germany (Price 3,35 euro)

Cheers,

I could not agree more with you. I had to refinish my stock to get it to the acceptable state it is in now. And all the grains are not filled and will never be, it is a working rifle and not a Hartmann & Weiss.
I like the feel and weight of good wood with straight grain but a rifle is a tool to me and I do not care about nicks and scratches it just ads character.
Here is another picture of my rifle to show the straight grain.


Cheers,

Andr�

Andre, is the questioning of Kynoch on their brass supply the one in this thread that you are referring to?

http://www.accuratereloading.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=670175&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=21&fpart=1

Also, did you decide on a cast bullet for practice?

No I did not decide on a cast bullet for practice yet, but I might load some of the useless Kynoch cases with some. I gat a long e-mail from DPhilips whom won the .500 jeffery and he gave me some pointers, but all that slugging of the bore is just to much trouble for me. I am a shooter not a loader, but I might be one day I migfht have a friend help me out with the project.

Yes it is the thread

JefferyDenmark,

At the Kynoch booth at SCI, I repeatedly tried to find out where their brass is made. They told me that Dieter Horneber refuses to make brass for them because he makes it for Wolfgang Romney. They also explained that when they get their brass from the brass maker, they check it carefully and if the dimensions are not right or if the hardness is not right, it goes right back. I told them I wanted to know where the brass came from because I had bad experiences with Bertram Brass in the past and did not want to use it in the future. At that point they could have reassured me by saying that they do not use BB, but they did not. So I concluded that Kynoch ammo uses Bertram brass. I could be wrong, but that is what it looks like from here. If this conclusion is accurate, it would explain why the Romney (Horneber) brass is better then the Kynoch (Bertram) brass. In my 600 NE I could not even chamber half of the Bertram cases, but every single Horneber case worked perfectly.






Cheers,

Andr�

I have gotten 1200 grain .585 lead bullets at about 1200 fps to shoot to the same point of impact at 50 yards as my 750 grain solid load at 2250 fps. THe secret? Pure coincidence and close range.

In my 500 NE, a 500 grain lead bullet at 1500 fps shoots to the same point of impact as my 570 grain solids at 2150 fps.

Thank you for the advice I might try it out.
But Barnes XLC and Woodleigh are just about $1 a pcs. and I would like the same POI when I practice.

Cheers,

Here's a simple fix for your problem. Just order several bullets of different dimensions in ten-paks ea. Get .510", .511", and .512" bullets and have them loaded to see if you can get the accuracy without leading. I do understand your reluctance to slug the bore.
