You know, because .500 Magnum messes with your split times. I’m not going to lie, the thought of .500 wadcutters does make me happy. Revolver calibers are just cooler.

I shot a few of those 700 grain 500 loads about a year ago when a customer had me come into the range to try it. That was an incredible amount of recoil, so for someone shooting an x frame regularly it looks like good news for them.
I had the pleasure of shooting a Freedom Arms .475 Linebaugh once and discovered my upper limit for handgun recoil... and discovered a really bad desire for such a gun as well.
I'd be grinning even wider if there was also a dedicated, 500 Special sized gun to shoot these in
Seems like a good idea to me. I fired a 500 Magnum for the first time in my life yesterday at the range.
One round from that big Smith quite literally left my palm bruised -- and left a HUGE grin on my face
Circa 1990s, Hamilton Bowen built some .500 Linebaugh Special revolvers. 1.2'' case length vs 1.4'' for the Linebaugh Magnum and 1.6'' for the Linebaugh Maximum. Roughly 3 pound handguns though some were lighter.Originally Posted by ExMachina

A man has gotta know his limitations......will you hit a target more times with a big caliber like that.
It is a hunting cartridge so a quick follow-up is second to terminal effects at appropriate distances.
Because a .44 might expand, but a .500 will never shrink.
...I'd probably buy this in a Super Redhawk because reasons.
Cuz they don't make a .51
