Considering that the lovely .577 made my teeth hurt with one shot, I think I'll pass on the .505... I do, however, have some 500 Woodleighs for the .475 Turnbull

Sherri will likely not be with me on the 2015 Hog hunt and big bore shoot so I will be able to socialize and just hang out some more with ya'll. Shooting big bores and all that. I kinda liked shooting my pigs with my 416 Rigby then 10mm pistol. If I do the deal I am working on, maybe in 2015 we will see if a 585 Hubel Express will get the job done. That round is, essentially, an all brass 12 ga hull tapered down to .585. Looks like a really big 40/65 or 38/55 tapered straight case.

IIRC the 585 HE runs 750 gr bullets to 2550 fps?

Paul Harvey's "rest of the story".
You guys may not know the full saga on Gunner's .505 Gibbs. It started life as a .416 Rigby. He shot it so much, he wore out the barrel, then had it rebored and chambered for .505 Gibbs.
Now, how many .416's, etc,. have any of you heard of being shot out?
Not sure how long his .505 tube will last and what his rebore options will be.
DF Looks like the 585 Hubel Express is a rechamber/rebore option should YOU or i shoot out the Gibbs barrel.

I traded my .404J after shoulder surgery, leaving a SS M-70 Classic .375 H&H as my "big" gun. So, I'm not even close to being in your league... With another rebore, that .505G barrel is going to be getting pretty thin... And thin mean light weight, which means bad azz kicker...  Yo kinda gun, for sure...  DF
