I'd like to see some hot 500 S&W mag loads. That 385 gr. Remington Corelokt Hollowpoint running about 1800 fps would be impressive to see!!!!

I love my 500, it is hands down my favorite gun to shoot!! I have a light target load of Trail Boss under Berry's plated bullets that I can shoot all day long and it's a real tack driver!! I use Lil-Gun for the full house loads with Hornady, CPB, and Remington bullets. With those I'm good for...

Without hearing protection a shot from a short barreled 500 mag will be almost as harmful to the person behind the trigger as the unfortunate bastard in front of it!!!

Nice Walker!!!!!!!

Unlike the ram on other C&B revolvers which are shaped to fit a roundball, the ram on a walker is shaped like a cone because it was designed for pointy Picket bullets. I wonder if that could have caused enough vacuume to draw the ball out? With the amount of force needed to ram the ball home, I...

Nice, I spent $350 for mine at Cabela's last summer. I see now that they are up to $400.

I think it looks more realistic than a manufactured one from a store. This handmade one is probably more authentic. I imagine that many of the holsters used during the period were handcrafted by their owners!!! NICE WORK!!!

....agreed, it's ALWAYS better to approach the limits than to exceed them!!! If you have conflicting data, start with the more conservative load and work up from there if you need more power. Likewise you should never exceed the maximum published load in your most aggressive manual!!

I used to work in an electronics manufacturing plant and we used lots of ohaus digital scales to take accurate weights of adhesives, parts, insulation, etc. They worked OK in a factory setting because they underwent constant maintenence. The had to undergo frequent calibration and testing to...

Lube Pills, pre-measured charges (or paper cartriges if you really want to get fancy), in moist conditions you may want to seal your precussion caps on the nipples with wax. Another option is to by several spare cyclinders and load them ahead of time, then you only need to swap them out and...

Those big guns are meant to be held against your crotch to absorb the massive recoil. :what:

So how do you guys like the big 460?? I have a 500 S&W but I seriously considered the 460. I went with the .50 cal cause I wanted the biggest nastiest thing on the Range.....and I got it, I just love this thing!!!!

never seen the show.....is she a hottie??

wouldn't it be too light to carry any kenetic energy?? :confused:

There are many ghosts of dead Nazi and Japanese soldiers who can attest to the killing power of a .45 ACP hardball!!
