fritz454I'm pretty sure you can order now. Depending on caliber it may be in stock or a few weeks out. Give
http://www.custombrassandbullets.com a try.
The store is the real deal. RNS is my destributor and he will have inventory for all items listed in short order. We are doing this 100%. Waters are tested and you will be seeing some new products coming out once his inventory is in place.

Thank you, Fritz!
I just want to test the 500gr bullets(only 50pcs) out of my 460Weath mag if there are any problems with the bolt action because of the very flat nose...

fritz454In a properly set up rifle they will feed smooth as glass. If you have a Weatherby even better as they are all single stacks and the case is lined up with the bore before you even begin the feed stroke. You should have no problems at all.
I have known of three rifles that needed help feeding and all of them were borderline feeders to begin with. It also takes very, very little to correct a feeding problem and if you have one with a FN bullet you will eventually have one with another type of bullet. Always better to sort it out before going to the field.
The beauty of the Bridger FN is that you can use the velocity of the 460 and not worry about over stressing the bullet. I'm biase but it's the best solid out there. IMO

700 nitrodo you have a phone number contact i need to put in a order for some 505 600 grain round nose solids i may even go flat nose. probably at least 200 and as much as 400.

AtkinsonI have used them on buffalo in 375, 416, 404 and 500 Jefferys, they feed and function in all my rifles, but they have all been tweeked or built to shoot Bridgers....Test your gun, it should feed them and if it doesn't then it needs fixing because it will probably jam sooner or later with any bullet....
A DGR should feed beer cans if you stick them in the magazine....

@all:
Thank you very mauch, i will try them.
My gun is a Heym Express. Up to now there have never been any feedingproblems!
But up to now i only used:
Hornady SP Interlock, Trophy Bonded Bear Claws, and Hornady Encapsulated FMJ(The reason why i am looking for good solids because they failed on buff!)
Is there anyone who knows whats a maximum load in 460Weath. with 500gr bridgers and Norma or Rottweil Powder?!

I don't specifically know, but I have never had any trouble just substituting a Bridger for another bullet with my standard loads. However, I stay with mild loads, so I will reserve comment about maximum loads.

470 MbogoYou shouldn't have any problem with the Bridgers feeding. I had John make me up some 540 grain .475 bullets with a .410 flat nose and they fed like butter in my 470 built on a 602 Brno.
Take good care,
Dave

AtkinsonFeeding problems have nothing to do with the bullet, only the rifle in question...It can and should be tweeked...
I have seen many rifles that would feed a Woodleigh soft and not a Woodliegh solid, and they sure have the same profile???????????
A lot of guns out there will not feed a RN bullet, only spitzers or simi pointed perhaps...
These guns need work BEFORE you hunt dangerous game, but its amazing how many guns show up in Africa that won't feed for beans, are not sighted in, and other unnecessairy problems we have to deal with...fortunatly most are prepared.
