Saw the new S&W 500 round today

[MikeJ]

Went to the range today and the guy behind the counter pulls out one of the new bullets for the S&W 500. I can't wait until they come out with a 12 oz. scandium gun for it.

I saw Gary Reeder is already modifying Rugers to chamber this cartridge. If I wanted one (I don’t) I think I would go that way.

What does the CB on the headstamp mean?

 

[J Miller]

The "CB" stands for Corbon. They are making the ammo.

I have a 50AE is a freedom arms revolver that Gary made and I would have him make me one of these also. I think it is still basically the same as the 500 linebaugh that has been around for a while.

Is that a .45 round next to that 500?!

Wow! That thing must kick like a mutha!

 

[kalibear45]

I can't wait till they make a 2" barrel version of it!

 

[Airwolf]

I think this is small enough!

 

[Kahr carrier]

Boy I hope they offer that to the general public ,I always wanted a Flamethrower.

 

[tlhelmer]

I want someone to do some expansions tests on this round. What do you think the expanded result would be? 1"

And for those who havent seen the comparison chart.

I just love these skewed marketing comparisons, why in the world would you compare the 500S&W to a .45ACP? How come the 50AE and Linebaugh cartridges aren't included in the comparo? Why even include the .357? Might as well compare a .22 to a 50BMG, means about as much.

 

[Tropical Z]

Everyone can relate to .357mag -THATS why its in there!

 

[braindead0]

Sure, I'll buy that..buy why ignore say...45-70... 50AE... and others..

Convenient to say the least... ;-)

This is the newest plot by the antis...

Enough sore hands and flinches and we'll all give up shooting.
