    Make your Eye's water!

    G'Day Fella's,

    Just seen a new For Sale advert go up on used guns for a .500 G & S (aka .505 Gibbs Improved).
    The add reads that the rifle is based on Brno 602 action and has never been fired!
    I wondered why until I got down to the quoted ballistics of this beast!
    The case capacity has a water capacity of 200 grains!
    It pushes a 535grain bullet at 2900fps and a 650grain bullet at 2600fps!!!

    Now I know why this geeza wants to sell the thing!

    Doh!
    Homer
