    Really like my 416 Rigby.

    Getting to like my 450 Terminator

    What's not to like about the little boys 450 Bushmaster & 510 Whisper

    One day I will get a 375 H&H to match my Rigby

    I got a new synthetic cz550 in 375 h&h for $1699.
    Should arrive in a few days.

    Shopping around for deals always works.

    And I should have the 375 ruger on Sunday.
    Maybe one day I will get 458 or 458 Lott.

    Don't get a snider! They're a pig IMHO a martini is nice in 577/450 but can be a challenge to load in Black Powder. I shoot a lot of 45/70 because of the ease of loading, you can get SPANZ cases which are basically straight bored instead of necked into a 46/70 cartridge. I'll ask my mate if he has anything to sell!

    I have a 45/70 as well. But its a marlin 1895.
    Not sure what I would want to get next. Will have to decide when something pops up.

    Just bought a load of bertram brass 577/450 cases as my SPANZ ones are beginning to die after 30 odd years. Going to full power loads again was a bit of a suprise on the shoulder.
