A 525 grain solid for the .505 Gibbs, made to the diameter that cartridge actually takes. Cutting Edge cuts this one to .504 inch so it fits a standard .505 Gibbs bore correctly, and 525 grains is a natural weight for that cartridge.
How the Safari Solid is built
Cutting Edge machines the Safari Solid from brass on a lathe, so it is one piece of metal with no jacket to separate and no core to deform. The shank carries a 3 plus 1 band configuration, which reduces the bearing surface in the bore and eases barrel strain compared with a full diameter shank of the same length. The nose is Cutting Edge’s 67 percent meplat BBW number 13 profile, the shape their testing found gave the deepest penetration of anything they tried. A flat, wide meplat like that also tends to track straighter through heavy tissue than a round nose does.
The .505 is a rifle people own on purpose, and this is a solid built for it rather than a near enough diameter borrowed from another bore.
