lets see:710 x 16=11360 Thats Doubletaps max loads energy wise, for the 10mm.
Max loads for my .500 Linebaugh Maximum:
Energy of 2,935 foot-pounds for a 550 grain bullet at 1550 fps, X 5=14675.
So, no, the guy is WAY wrong. My 5 shots have nearly 30% more energy then all his
10MM.
Doubletap offers a factory load for the .500 S&W that isn't much off my gun:
Caliber : .500 S&W Magnum
Bullet : 400gr. WFNGC Hardcast
Ballistics : 1800fps - 2878 ft./lbs. - 8.375" bbl.
Results are pretty much the same.
The 45-70 is in the same ball park, but requires a longer barrel to get the same results, and a longer cylinder.
