Hello, thanks for the info on my 500 mag. you mentioned GB, who is that?? Remember I'm the newbie. I completely agree with you about the reloads, my brother used to do that but he sold his equipment. He's reloaded some pretty hard hitting loads for my 8mm Model 98 Mauser, he loaded me 50 and I've shot 1 and it stung my shoulder a little. I managed to find 4 boxes of 20 rounds through Brownells for the 500mag. I will treasure them like fine China and I guess I need to find a reputable reloader. Other question, why is there such a drought on this ammo? Thanks for the help and good shooting to you.
