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

Honestly, so are we. There are a lot of questions up in the air.

Since the announcement of the deferral, we shouldn't have any problems of bringing them back in!

We have just received another one in stock!

[Al Flaherty's]

Only one left!

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

I’ll try and chrony mine this week and let ya know but my understanding is that the 500 really gains a tonne more velocity in the longer barrel.

I'm sure we wouldn't be the only ones interested in the results, post it back here when you do!

I'll second that. Not much info on the internet about the velocities. A video on Youtube would be great :-) Let us know if the recoil matches your username...

Have you put it on a scale to see exactly how much it weighs? curious is the mfg weight is correct.
