Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only My .500 Jeffery Problem

Metaphor:

Now that Norma has discontinued production of .500 Jeffery brass,
if I ever found any of the non-rebated-rim brass,
my response to Norma brass, if the Norma brass is a Harrier jet:



If that ever happens, just open up the bolt face of the .500 Jeffery rifle using Norma brass.
Until then, make do, just for fun, i.e., use the .500 Jeffery rifle as a substitute
preventing a .50-140-3.5" Sharps 1874 boondoggle.
Both cartridges have same gross capacity within 1 grain of H2O.
CIP is the well-established standard for the .500 Jeffery.
The standard twist for the .500 Jeffery is 1:20", great for cast bullet loads,
even paper-patched and BP.
What cheer !

Another great metaphor:
