how about an honary membership in exchange for a DRSS license plate????

I shot it,and liked it. I will say it again " your 550 was less punishing than my 470 merkel", the way the merkel came from the factory. Your stock did a great job of recoil control! I shot it bear shoulder and had no pain, no slap on the face. You knew you touched something off but it did not hurt. I am thinking of having one built. At .550 dia will you be able to export it to Africa and get it back. I think I read a post were someone had a problem with a .50 dia rifle. My brno 602 has a 458 bolt face is there enough to work with that bolt.

I've shot:

.458 Lott
.458 AR
.470 Capstick
.550 Express
.577 T-Rex

George,
470 AR, 550 Mag and 550 Express ...

I thought you had your .458AR, and Neal had only the .550 Express with him.

George
P.S. I have to contact Tom!

.458 Lott
.500 Jeff
.500 NE
.450 Rigby
.460 Weatherby

I smacked an old tin coffee cup with the .500Jeff. we had it set up on an old earthen dam. I center punched it and got about 10 seconds of airtime. That was kind of cool!

Rich,

I shot it! And I also have a LOTT.

abbadaabbbadaabbada.....huh.....why does my shoulder hurt? what are those bright spots I keep seeing....ouch

I think I was one, I can't remember.

Bob

We didn't have time to shoot at a specific target, but can she overlook that technicality? LOL



it is a .458 Lott . . .

Troy

My vote for your bride, is yes. As she was willing to have a second shot and did so.

Keith

Well shot the ole man's 505 gibby at 15 and survived, played with the 460 for awhile, but the only one left now is my 8 bore under hammer front stuffer,, but heck it throws a 900 grain ball

Guess I'm in for the three shot run of 550 GIBBS SUPER MAGNUM I had at the Bubba Shoot. Thats a cool round you've put together Rich and I'm really considering this one for my Montana "PH". Does this mean I'll get a patch for membership?--- Just kidding, had alot of fun at the shoot! Thanks Rich, Rodney out.

I still ain't putting one in the safe, yet!
I didn't run until I could crawl and walk first.
This is like looking at the guy who has it all.
You see him now, not realizing all his sacrifices and beginnings.
A 378 Improved to a 550 or 577 is a groin ripping leap!
I'll start off small with a 416 Rigby and work up.
Afterwards I'm thinking 460 Webbie or so.
Then a 500 A-Square.
Baby steps.
My pain threshold will grow nicely I figure.

I shoot sub 1/2 MOA 100-yard 3-shot groups with scope sighted big bores such as:
577 Tyrannosaur
500 A-Square/.510JAB
470-Mbogo
470 Capstick
Do I qualify?

That is an impressive resume!!

Troy,

BB Gun
.22 Short
.22 Long
.22 Long Rifle
.22 Win Mag
A few other things......

Rich, do a couple thousand rounds out of a 9 lb 458 Win Mag count? Maybe junior wanna be status? Other than that, let's see......

458 Lott,
500 Cyrus,
505 Gibbs,
And Jeff's 550 belted. Let's not forget what a monster that little beauty is.

Tom

I have shot:
458 Lott
450 Dakota
470 N.E.
505 Gibbs
500 N.E.

Ive shot
450 ackley
458 winmag
458 lott
600 overkill
(45/110 sharps and 1887 10ga after a full day of shooting them in cowboy action they start to get your attention.

I was one of the others that shot your 550, I also have a 458 Lott.

I didn't shoot Rich's 550 Gibbs this time around but I will in June. I have my 11 lb 550 Magnum (700 gr @ 2350 fps) which beats me up quite well, thank you.

Others 458 or bigger I own and shoot:

450 Ackley
458 AR
505 Gibbs

Boomy, I'll get the video of you shooting the 577 NE to Jeffe this weekend so we can get it posted!

to clear up the 550s
550 Gibbs - .550 bullet on a gibbs case
550 FLanged - .550 on a 577/500 - about the same as a gibbs with a rim for case size
550 Magnum - 3" straight 460 weatherby case
550 Express 2.65" straight 460 weatherby case

Jeffe

Shot mike park's505Gibbs at the HH&S&decided to build one.

458 Lott
460 Weatherby
505 Gibbs
500 Jeffery
And now Boomie has me thinking about a 577...Geez this stuff just never ends

jeffe, don't forget the 550 on the 600 Ok case. Although I doubt there are many out there besides mine.

John
no way would i forget it! man, if it is the monster that the 550gibbs is.... well, i can say uncle!!!!

I don't own a 577 T-rex, I said "Uncle" at that point. I worked my way up from a 460Wby Mk V, then a 460Wby BBK-02, always striving for 1/2 MOA or better for 3 shots at 100 yards.

If you don't stop doing it at some point you are going to go blind!

I can just imagine the annual reunion of the "Whomper Club." Blind, deaf, and comparing notes on their titanium cervical fusions and thoracic outlet decompressions. Heroic!!!

RIP, if we make another ten years we can just reboot our programmable replacement retinas and inject cervical re-growth hormone after the shoot. No problemo!
