Attached is a photo from today's trip to the range with my Heym M88 .470 NE double. Picture is of my first four shots with a load of H4831SC (108 grains) with a 500 grain Woodleigh bullet. Next two shots were a group about an inch and a half wide. The Federal factory rounds averaged 2107 fps. The handloads averaged 2081 fps. I think it is time to leave well enough alone. This load should should get the job done!  Mike Mike | ||

Suffice it to say that I was pleased. By the way, taking a Sharpie and darkening the bullets to shoot through the chrono worked like a champ. No errors this round. Mike | |||

Rule Number One of Life: If it ain't broke, you cain't fix it. Just enjoy it, ride it spend it, or gaze at those targets in wild wonder, awe, and admiration and say to yourself "damn I'm good...at least today...". Rich | |||

 and what do you think about 105gr powder, 700gr bullet, and 2130fps? http://www.weaponsmith.com/550-exp.html LMAO on a lighter note, the 470 AR (which mike will be shooting today) only takes 82gr to take a 500gr to 2300... jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?
