Like I said, my Doppler was acting a bit out of sorts so I’ll do the test again on the 500gr Hornady rounds because that seems crazy good. I hope it’s right though because the rifle will shoot that round lights out.
    I never got any where near the 2100 fps mark in my H&R rifle with the 500gr using my reloads and they were fairly close to max using H110 powder. The highest speed I got with the Hornady 500 gr XTP was 1550 fps.

    Another batch is being made as we speak! I'd suggest everyone to sign up for notifications if you haven't already as the previous ones sold within hours of being added online.

    CFE BLK. Is the ticket for heavier bullets in the 500 Smith & Wesson with a 16 inch tube you can easily do 2000 feet per second. Very impressed with the new powder from Hodgdon meters well. I think you could get more speed, in my Handi rifle but why bother. FYI I put a muzzle brake on mine. Still thinking about buying a big horn

    Can you guys get the 460sw ones? I can't afford it either way, but if I could I think I'd want that one...
