Gibbs necked to accept .475" bullets




WHY??? I repeat WHY??? The 505 Gibbs is far better than a .475 Gibbs. Seems like a step backward to me.

You think anything you shoot would notice 2% less energy? Since the Gibbs is limited by the brass, why not form the cases from .408 Chey Tac cases?

What? We could be talking about THE .470 Royale, which is the Holland and Holland Royalle grade in a .470 caliber...the elite of double rifles I might add, Up to $150,000. or more per gun in some cases, in fact the sky is the limit....
