Depending on how the UN Marking goes we may or may not bring these in again.

It is supposed to not be required if it will reduce value. I wonder how and when this argument will be made.

How would a 500 sw be any different than a 45/70 in performance ? Just curios other than the larger caliber .

Couldn't say with certainty, most tests with specifications for 500 S&W ammunition is based on an 8.5" barrel, where as most tests on 45-70 are on 24"

With that said, below are the pages for the 500S&W from Hornady and their 45-70, both with the FTX tip
