2 weeks ago I bought a 505 and am just waiting for my PTA to arrive.
I got some loaded rounds with it, and I definitely think that they are not for the recoil sensitive.
Woodleigh 525 grn soft points, 138 grns of 2213sc.
Woodleigh 600 grn Protective Points, 129 grns 2213SC.
Hornady DGX 525 grn SP's 136 grns RE 17.
Will let you know how it performs on Buffalo very shortly.
Cheers Baz.
