.505 Gibbs Ammo Prices

The legendary .505 Gibbs from around 1911 is one of the most famous of all the enormous bolt-action dangerous-game cartridges, immortalized in Hemingway and beloved by professional hunters who wanted overwhelming authority on the largest game. It fires a huge heavy bullet with staggering force and it carries a genuine mystique few cartridges can match. A giant among big bores. Legendary heavy-bore power.

Factory ammunition is genuinely rare and expensive and largely a specialty affair. This leans on custom loaders. The dangerous-game and collector crowd buy whatever surfaces and treasure it deeply.
