I shot one of these monsters about 10 days ago with 370 grain cast bullets, all I can say is wow and hang on with both hands :shock: Hopefully this weekend or next we will be trying the 440 grainers out. 8) Sure wish I could hunt with one. :shock:
 
They buck but personally it was no where near as bad as I thought it would be. I figure only 25% more than a .44 magnum. Note my Avatar :D
 
I haven't shot the .500 yet :oops: but I'm sure it depends on a gun; the S&W is Huge it weighs like 70oz so It's got to absorb some of the recoil in.

but as far as energy goes the .500 is about 2.5-3 times the .44mag :shock:
 
My G/f shot the 500 and all she did was look at me and grin then proceeded to touch off another round, then she did her little dance thing she does when she is excited. 8) personally i think she likes the 50AE better cause it has more muzzle blast but at least she was excited. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: now if only i could excite her like that.. :oops: :oops:

It also has a ported barrel which obviously helps. I found it pushed me backwards more than the .44 Mag, but not as much muzzle flip.
 
I think factory ammo is $4 a shot ? Thats like filling the gas tank on a gas guzzler :shock: I was going to sell my Ruger SRH .480 a while back but honestly I like it . About as much kick as a 44 mag. and I have lots of brass and bullets for reloads .

Any JPEG or MPEG? :D
 
Too bad our range is limited to 44magnum. Is that common? What modifications would be necessary to shoot a 50caliber?

I will stick with 9mm,.40,357mag + good old .45ACP. The powerful stuff seems like it hurts the wrist and the wallet!!

Heh, .357 Is great. But I cant wait to fire off one of these beast.

Thinkin of gettin either a 500 or a PC 627. Fell in love with one @ the range.:D
