It's a Nock's form after the gunmaker Henry Nock

George, was that bruise from firing a Nock's volley gun ? 7 barrels of +50-cal ball and BP going off at once do feel a bit like Selous' 4-bore. That can make the shooter spin like a weather cock in the wind, as the Brits might say. Or like a weathervane. Sort of like Nock's form versus knoxform. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/194497.gif) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/194496.jpg) Sort of like to the victor go the spoils: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/194498.jpeg)

RC, no, nothing as exotic as that. I noticed this after a range session for the plain old 458 Lott topped off by touching off a few 3 1/2” shot shells through one of those 6 lb H&R break-open 12’s. Those things should not have 3 1/2” chambers 😳😊.

Note that Horneber .500 Jeffery brass was used, available back then. The brass situation is sorry now ! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/193929.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/193930.jpg) RCC brass for $12 per piece is only twice what Norma brass cost when it could be found previously. The RCC brass could be made with non-rebated rim ... Nice to see my photo's from 12 years ago still being used without credit, lol ! Aside from that ... RCC just filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and won't be making brass for anyone anytime soon ... I have 2.5 year old prepaid orders of brass for my "Wolverine" line on cartridges based on the 500 Jeffery case in 30 cal, 338, 8mm, 358, 375 & 416 ... with a 338 Lapua size rim diameter that won't see production & I'll never see my $cash$ again because Chapter 7 protects RCC from lawsuits for lost $$$

Thanks to Swamplord for use of his photos and, sadly, news of RCC bankruptcy. What little .500 Jeffery brass I have will be well cared for. I'll get the rifle finished before 2023 passes. Before 20 years passes.

I love my CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery. Has some issues with it feeding. Between Harlan at Triple River, Wayne at AHR and Kevin Weaver (Colorado Springs) we got it "sorted out" It feeds and functions flawlessly now, shoots sub MOA. I use Jamison Brass, CCI Magnum Rifle Primers, 103g H4895 and Barnes 570g TSX bullets. They chrono at 2300 fps. The load is straight out of Art Alphin's book "Any Shot You Want". Pictures (I also have a bruise picture caused by me not treating the rifle with enough respect the first time doing load development lol) [img] https://i.imgur.com/BD0shRU.jpg?1[/img]
