Or, what one may do with idle time!

Easy builds on the CZ550 action. Take your pick.

I think I'm in love with that 416 Ultra. Looks like it's just the medicine that I need.
Thanks a bunch, this is going to be fun.
What do your think of making this a cast bullet cartridge?

Darn photos keep expiring overnight!! Anyone know why? My photos are archived on Seattle Photo works. My guess is they have so many hits for posting images that thay have a 24 hr limit.

I will post the photo again!

Back to the cartridges, the 458 has a 460 gr hard cast lead bullet, with gas check and Thompson's blue high temp lube. The 458 would be the choice for a cast bullet gun, as so many molds are available vs the 416. JJHack had an excellent post several weeks ago in the african room about cast bullet pentration on elephant with the 458 Lott. Better yet for cast bullets is the 450 Howell, I will try to post a photo later. The Howell has a 2.5 inch case and will function through a standard Mauser magazine. Howell also based on 404 brass.
