500 s&w
« on: Nov 11, 2006, 09:04:20 AM »
anyone shooting this monster besides me?? i had the revolver till it tore my wrist up- torn ligements/tendons-i still have the handi rifle-not getting rig of that-am getting great groups with corbon 440 grain hard cast bullets.-seen below-


but the recoil is MASSIVE!!!. two shots in a row is my personal limit. thru my chornograph the rifle is like 400-450 fps FASTER than the pistol.
i have been getting good accuracy with the ultra max 325 grain hollow points-seen below




 they have much less recoil-it still is a handfull-am going to have a muzzel brake added this next spring.

as for knock down well it is kinda like hitting something with an 18 wheeler.

I bought one last year,it is a huge pistol!!!!The kick isnt that bad IMO,I could shoot it over and over.

Ive only put a box of shells through mine so far.The shells are way to expensive just to do plinking.

Mine ran around $900 and is well spent for protecting the home......I can just imagine what it would cost if they make a Semi auto out of it! :o

single hand shooting the 500? with your weakest hand?, I have only done it with both hands.

yeah something i wont do again..-shoot that hand gun left handed-

i have shot alot of big rifles. the 500s&W handi rifle recoils worst than my 505 jeffery. so when i say a handful for me to shoot it i mean it. a lot of guys say it is to much gun for them.

if ya think the price of the 500s&w is high -bout $3 each- buy a box of 505 jeffs- $21 each-
