Rusty:

If I didn't already have 300 650 grain bullets waiting to get loaded, I would be all over it!

And yes, I did say 300! I found some at a GREAT price and took the lot.

Hi 577NE,

650 Grain, the TIGER bullet as recall reading some where? I was thinking Doc52's rifle would be regulated with the 750 grainers at 2050 FPS. I'm just ASSUMING... even though doing so is far more dangerous than BIG FIVE HUNTING

I think 300 rounds will last YEARS at a DRSS hunt! 'Cause I have $10 that says you only pull the trigger once

Big Five:

Correct, the Searcy will be regulated with 750 grains, but we'll also build up some 650 grain loads for fun shoots - it's cheaper and more fun than the full nitro loads!

BigFiveJack,
When the 577 gets here, you are most welcomed to come along to pop a few if you wish! We will be meeting at the same place as last time, and I hope you and anyone else from AR who wishes to join us, can do so!
