I don't have either caliber Nor do I want one..... but I have "heard" that the 577 trex gives about 170 ft / lbs of recoil......thats not something I want pounding on my shoulder..... will you be getting a muzzle break ?

I will use a brake on 577 but not the 500.  I know all about the recoil, but I do thank you for the warning

You could try accuratereloading.com
There's a big bore forum there and you might get some usable information. Good luck.

when I first heard of the .577 tyranasaur years ago, I looked it up an the only information that I could find lay under "anti-tank" rifles.   :D   I can see why I don't want one against my shoulder... and I can also see why I may need one in the future.

Easiest, cheapest donor for a 500A2 is the CZ550 in 416Rigby. Bought one just for the conversion at a later date. The number of 50cal pills just keeps growing so I reckon its a better choice than the T-Rex ... can you get brass for the T-rex? I'd rather a Nyati than T-Rex ... at least there are a few sources for brass.
Cheers...
