And to win tattslotto. I believe S&W claim if it lives on this planet, their 500 will stop it. So with your Nitro Express and the 500, let the shooting begin. :)

Sorry Timmeh, but I must have missed in this thread (or another thread) but what type of rifle will you be firing these huge projectiles out of?

Cheers

Hey jorge,

This was my original post back when I ordered it, but basically my local gunsmith has started making and selling his own single and double shot rifles. While they are fairly simple, they are beautifully made and it's about the only way I can afford to get into such a calibre. The gunsmith Ralf Dauner makes all the metal parts himself while his wife does all the timberwork.

I saw it the other day. All the metal parts had just been blued and the final touches were being applied to the timberwork. Hopefully it will be finished in the next week or two, so I need to get some rounds built so we have something to shoot! :D

I'll definitely get some pictures up when it arrives, and a video of shooting it for the first time.
