Love them Loudenboomer guns.
My favorite is my custom wildcat .338 WSM with Barnes bullets. My 2 bullet choices are 210 and 185 grain TTSX-BT @ 3050 and 3240 FPS. Very similar to Lazzaroni Galaxy loads. So fun to shoot and under .5 moa @ 100yds.
Great round. Much more user friendly than the .460 Weatherby (standard load). I prefer the old boring .404 parent round; but perhaps just due to nostalgia. :-)
I helped a friend work up loads for a .505 Gibbs last year and I can tell you that wasn't much fun. Finally resorted to shooting off sticks as from the bench it was pretty rough.
I have started to see more of you PHs going to synthetic stocked rifles after years of scoffing at the Americans and their "ugly rifles". Be safe and happy hunting!
I'm getting too old to handle the recoil so I don't currently have any Big Bore rifles, unless you count a couple of .45-70s. I got rid of my factory special run Ruger M77 in .458 Win Mag. I do still have a couple of Medium bores, a .338 Win Mag and a .375H&H.
Interesting caliber, never heard of it before, heard of many of the old big game calibers, from many years ago, then the common big game calibers, but not the 460 G&A. Looks like it should be a stout caliber. The only big game calibers I have ever had any experience with are the 375 H&H typically, then the 458 Win. Mag and the 460 Weatherby. I like that rifle of yours, everything I have see and heard is Brunos are great rifles.
It would be nice to go hunting over there some day, don't think I will ever have the time or money to do that, but have wanted to for a long time.
My big bore stable consists of a single shot cva 45-70 and a home brewed 458 SoCom AR. I love those guns it's nice not needing a spotting scope at 100 yds.
my gunsmith buddy has a rifle that he acquired that is marked .450 velociraptor. he sent me a picture of the chamber cast and it makes a .338 lapua look pretty small. looks to be some sort of .505 Gibbs wildcat. I wanna shoot it if he can ever get any rounds loaded!
