Gerhard.Delport1st 500 Jeff ammo
Guys,
I have loaded the 1st cast bullets for my 500 Jeff.
570gr bullets will make great practice rounds.
What do you think?

I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good.

shakariHi Buddy,
They don't just look nice, they look fuckin' nice! - Although I'm still not sure what they'll do to the barrel............ did you ask the guy who made the rifle if it's OK to use them?
Cheers for now

Yes sir,
Truvelo as well as the guys here on AR advise me to go ahead and shoot the casts as it will not do any damage to the barrel.
Just need to clean the barrel before shooting copper.
By the way where did you get your cleaning equip for your Jeff?

Gerhard.DelportOn my way home after my bow hunt I lost control of the pick up on a gravel road and I rolled the pick up.
I broke my C 3 vertebra.
I am in Pretoria until the 1st of October when I have to see the Doc again.

NzouHi Jakkals, very nice looking rifle and cast bullets! Your rifle is starting to look like a serious working rifle, really nice stock, where did you get it from? I am sorry about the neck injury, just make sure you rest your neck completely, even if it takes many months and check with your GP before shooting that monster.

Thanks for the advice.
Believe me it was one of the 1st questions I asked the doc after the operation.
The stock was build by Armtec.
Go and look at
www.armtec.co.za for more information.
