700/577 NE
Anyone who has experience with this caliber?
On the W-R webpage they advertise a 900 grs bullet at 2300 f/s. I do not know of any quality 900 grs .585" bullets on the market in both soft and FMJ..? Maybe it is a typing error - should have been 750 grs instead of 900??? Anybody who knows?
If it is true what is written then the 700/577NE is much more powerfull than the 700 NE - doesn´t make sense to me..?!!!

Supposedly WR built one 700/577 for a wealthy gentleman from one of the Persian Gulf states. As for 900 grain .585 bullets, I know of at least one run of such bullets made by Woodleigh, although they are not a bullet that Woodleigh advertises.

I have heard from Woodleigh that they have made a single run of 900 grs .585" soft point bullets. But NEVER any solids. So I quess it must be a typing error on their web page...
