I'm assuming because the .357 bullets are much lighter they required more force to remove with the hammer. I could be wrong, but it makes sense to me.
How much exactly is a S&W 500 go for ? The S&W website does not have a MSRP on this.
I have some jhps and some Win 296.
Pics soon
Andrew - that looks like plenty of crimp.
Okay great. Thanks for taking a look and reassuring me.
Can't wait to shoot em!
I have some empty brass.
296 is not easily found these days.
Sure it is! I bought all the 296 and H110 I could carry a few weeks ago at D&L in Warwick. $22 per pound.
I had never seen so much powder before. It was stocked floor to ceiling all at good prices. They also had Titegroup, Lil Gun, Varget, 4350, 4895, 700x to name a few. Some were available in 1/4/8lb containers too.
Recently? They haven't had it for quite a while and they didn't have any 3 weeks ago.
If you want to actually shoot the thing without going bankrupt you'll want to load for it, and preferably cast for it as well. Factory ammo is hard to find at most local gun shops and stupid expensive when you do find it. (Not much cheaper online either.)
EDIT: Just realized I replied to a 2 year old post. Derp.
I'm convinced that this is why most people buy the .50.
In a lot of ways the .460 is superior. How's a 360 gr bullet moving at 1900 FPS work for you?

But you can't shoot this out of a 460, LOL
700 grain bullet.

Stopped by today. They now have less of it.
By the way, they still had less than 3 cases of 1lb's. I opened case number 1 and took some.
Dayum! I think you could kill a whale with that round! Looks like a similar bullet to the 340 gr 44 mag buffalo bore rounds I just bought.
Uh . . . no.
It can't. Since at 700 gr, its more than TWICE the weight of the 340 gr buffalo bore bullets you just bought.
Yes, I'm amazed also. Wow.
Yes I was exagerrating that it could take down a whale lol. Also I meant the bullet shape/profile looked similar to the buffalo bore rounds I bought so I wasn't sure if this was a buffalo bore 500 S&W round in the photo.
