Has anyone tried the 90/750 load in any .577?
Since it is in the barrels longer at 1800fps,
i guess it would shoot more apart than the
90/650. or 100/750 loads.

I'm trying to understand what you are asking.

Are you asking if we have fired a equivelent of 90 grains cordite for a 750 grain bullet in a .577 for a rifle that was regulated for something else?

If so, what rifle are we shooting it in? In a rifle that was proofed and regulated for 100 grains cordite for a 750 grain bullet?

I shoot 125 grains of RL-15, behind a 750 grain bullet for the best results, and that is exactly what the rifle was regulated with.

The 90/750 load was available from both
Kynoch and Eley in both 2 3/4" and 3".
Few guns were regulated for that load,
although Drake has a H&H on his page so
regulated. My question was has anyone
tried the 90/750 load regardless of what
the gun is regulated for. Thanks

577ne,
Yes, I have shot the 90grn of Cordite/750grn Kynoch load out of my B.Searcy 577NE.

Doc52 How did it feel and how did it group?
Was the Searcy a 100/750 gun and what was
the weight? Thanks

577NE:

Doc's my dad and the gun we are talking about is our .577 3" NE by Searcy. It was regulated for the full load round (125 grains of RL 15 behind a 750 grain bullet); the gun weighs 13 lbs, 6 oz empty.

I have not shot the reduced loads out of the gun, but I believe the old man has.

Here are some photos of it:

577nitro express: Mercy, what a beaut! I think
I remember seeing pics of that gun as it was
being built. I'd bet you are both mighty happy
with it. I have a 90/650 Hollis, and I was
interested in the 90/750 load because it was
loaded by Kynoch, and might be a little better
because of the SD. The velocity is of course
lower at 1800fps, so maybe its 6 of one, half a
dozen of the other. I was just trying to see if
anyone had any experience. I've booked an ele hunt for March, and want to take the .577, assuming I can even clear Ohare with anything over .500. If your pop could say how it performed, I'd be grateful. Beautiful gun, and
thanks.

577ne,
could you please contact me directly at rkmojo@aol.com concerning your Hollis.
