.500 nitro express 3" brass

[Mattm]

I just picked up a 500 nitro and im looking for brass and dies. If anybody could guide me in the right direction i would appreciate it. I have seen brass on the internet but most i'd have to order in from the states and i'd much rather deal in country.

Whoa there!

Hang on just a minute there, boys. You can't just casually mention that you pick up .500 nitro's and not share some info about them. This is a gun board, after all. We need details and pics please.

I think a range report is in order. You can't just leave us hanging.

The .500 nitro 3" I picked up is built on a ruger #1 stainless with grey laminate stock the custom work was done by Weber & Markin out of Kelowna,BC. I purchased the rifle as is. Once I get sufficient information I will post a range report. Pictures will follow this post shortly.

Here's some load data that might help you on your way.

The load I used in Tanzania was 89 grs of 3031 and a 570 gr X bullet and was clocked at 2150. That thing jumped around pretty good, and considering it weighed around 12 pounds the #1 should be fun to shoot at 9 pounds.

A-Square lists their 570 gr bullet with -

109.0 - 115.0 grs of H-4831
100.0 - 105.0 grs of IMR-4350
109.0 - 114.0 grs of Re-19
