I've been running a standard .375 H&H for the past couple years, and I've had it crawling around in the back of my mind to build myself a heavy. I've got another .375 length Montana 1999 sitting here that is looking awfly lonely. I have it narrowed down to basicaly 4 chamberings. What are your thoughts? .458 Lott - most pratical from the build standpoint as I already have the reamer, and no action mods would need to be done. 470 Capstick - easy from the build standpoint just a bit different in that you don't see them that often. .500 Jeffrey - This is just a classic, it has soul. Like the other calibers I hunt with currently it hovering toward the century mark. I know there can be some feeding issues that have to be worked out, but making it work is half the fun of the build. I see this one as a challenge. 550 Express - Simply it's about as big as I can go on this action. Yes it's cocked, and it has bullets too!!! | ||

I have no idea what would suite you, but I would enjoy hearing and seeing your effort around a 550 express. Which 550 would that be a Gibbs or Weatherby based round? | |||

the little one... although I do not see how you are going to fit a 550 Wbee in their either. Perhaps the 550 of Jeffe's? Rich | |||

Things been getting away from you after you shoot them with the 375? ![]() The Lott is the most practical but the Jeffery does have it's appeal as well. Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

Nothing has gotten away from the .375, probably just cursed myself there. Just want to do a heavy because I can. The .550 I'm thinking of is Jeffe's. Yes it's cocked, and it has bullets too!!! | |||

The .500 Jeffery all the way. I prefer the sharper shoulder of the 12.7x70 Schuler Jumbo but either way I would build the .500 ![]() | |||
