I knew it was a lot but I didn't think it would be 3 7/8". Looks like a restock is called for. This must have bruised a lot of cheekbones in it's life. I wonder if it has knocked anyone unconscious.

It looks like a very plain piece of hardwood that has been inked and stained to look sort of like walnut with some figure. I'd rather do it right with a nice piece of walnut and make it fit. Even though its a BPE a .577 with 150-160 or so grains of black powder or equivlent smokeless isn't something I want to shoot juryrigged.

OP Mike Harrell Sidelock Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 3,574 Likes: 87 Alaska	Mike I have found lots of load data for the 3".577 Nitro but very little of anything for the 2 3/4" .577 BPE. I've had one answer to my question "Is the 2 3/4" .577 Nitro case the same as the 2 3/4" .577 BPE". He said it was. So, I'm trying to make an order for 20 cases. As soon as they work out a website glitch I'll send my order in.
