They're both super accurate but I'm still getting used to the recoil and I go from doing really excellent groups to really average groups with each range trip.
Good Looking hardware there. I like those things!.... Mine are 6.5 inch PC versions... 500 top...460 bottom. Just scoped the 460 with 4X Leupold in Warne QD rings.. Loaded some Hornady 240 XTPs with a little H110... Headed to the range any day now
Man, don't think you have to worry about stopping power with that dainty piece of steel as a nightstand gun! That is probably a "one shot stop" revolver.
Nice - I really like the 4" version. I also got to shoot 30 rounds through my 500 at a range today - I managed about a 6-inch group off-hand at 25 yards, which is pretty good for me (I've actually done about a 3-inch group off-hand at 25 yards a couple months ago). I like everything about the 500 except the ridiculous prices of ammunition for it - insane prices!
Ralph, Thanx so much for sharing your .600 “Thumper” with us.
‘Tis a grand old gun.
Where do you find the cases? Or do you spin them yourself?
Good to see old behemoths like that still shooting so well.
Made me open a bottle of Fat Tire Ale to celebrate your posting!
Here are my modern day examples of the “faith” of the fat and ugly.
My “feeble” and “poor” large bore shed guns.
(I call them “shed” guns because they tend to shed the life out of everything shot with them)
My 8" .500 Magnum
My 4"500 Magnum (This is my squirrel gun)
Me "weak" and "paltry" 460 Magnum
Me little .454 (My favorite revolver cartridge to handload for)
Me's not so little .454
The "Big" and the Ugly" (How did that little .44 Magnum get in there)
Ralph, Thanx for sharing the .600 "Thumper" with us.
Continued good Luck with that one.
Gerk - that's more like it; I'm actually interested in Taurus too for their .454 Casull 6.5" in gloss black, and I also like it that they offer 6.5" and 10" 500 models.
