S&W 500 shooting 500gr bullets
« on: May 13, 2005, 03:06:39 AM »
I went to the range the other day and shot with my 500 mag a 1" three shot group at 85 yds with 500 gr bullets. I thought that was pretty good. What do you think? :D

   Whats the largest you have shot with your 500? [BULLET] Those bullets you gave me an address for they were like 640? or 580? weren't they? I had a chance to get some 600 gr bullets once but I turned them down. I thought 500gr bullets was big enought. The 458 shoots 500gr bullets and my 416 shoots 400gr bullets. Then you get into Nitro 600 and I think around 700 is almost as hight in weight that it goes. or it might be 900gr. :D

I have shot several 630 gr and a handful of the 700 gr. The guy I gave you the address for makes 575 and 700 gr. bullets.  :D
