Congratulations.

Thanks. Can’t wait to take a look. Now it is confirmed I have way too many big bores than a man needs.


Just kidding!

FUN cartridge, I tried 525gn @ 2500 (Kills pigs well), and 600gn at 2300. which worked OK on Buff, but showed a bit to much expansion, so I now prefer a more practical 600gn @ 2150 for Buff (or anything), and I load the 525gn down to the same velocity with 105gn AR2208 (Varget), and a foam filler. However, I found my barrel is actually 0.507, so needs a bit more powder than a standard 0.505 A true 505 barrel will get a bit more velocity with that load. I have fired well over 1000 rounds since 2008 out of my GMA now.


505 Doctari should chime in - but a 600gr at 2100/2150, as you settled on, is Kevin's favourite.

I picked up a bunch of closeout 505 600 grain at 2100 and a bunch of 525 at 2300. Should Cover everything I’m thinking and probably duplicate in handloads

After shooting my AHR upgraded 505 over several shooting sessions I can say this: the recoils is substantial

Double tap had a sale on ammo. They have 600 at 2200 and 2400. 2400 should be pretty stout. Well done
