I was talking to a buddy who wants a 505 also and we were wondering what actions are capable of handling this cartridge. We both like the Ruger #1 but would prefer a bolt gun. I see a lot of CZ's but we were curious about others. We can get 98k Mausers here reasonably cheap but were thinking it was too small. WOODY Everyone is allowed an opinion, even if its wrong. | ||

505 ammo on a budget? Get yourself some led, a pot to melt it in and cast your own bullets. No way of getting around how much you'll spend on powder. That's what Rich Kayser does and I shot his CZ 505 recently. Don't try to reinvent the wheel is my .02 cents.....unless your pockets are pretty deep. His new baby canon is about ready to reach another critical stage. Can't wait to shoot it. Will have the medics nearby  | |||

thanks for the "profs" Jake. At 20 cents a pound for wheel weights, my 650gr cast gas checked bullets for my 505 Gibbs cost me about a nickel (electricity for the pot included) apiece, plus four cents for the gas check and lube. My casting set up is spendy, but I bought it all more than twenty years ago. If you shop for mil-surp powders, I can shoot those cast bullets over 2300fps for less than a forty cents a loaded round.

PoppaW Check your PM's. If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting. The sentiment that modern day ordinary Canadians do not need firearms for protection is pleasant but unrealistic. To discourage responsible deserving Canadians from possessing firearms for lawful self-defence and other legitimate purposes is to risk sacrificing them at the altar of political correctness." - Alberta Provincial Court Judge Demetrick    | |||
