Got my 500 Smith and Wesson this morning and took it out and
shot 167 rounds of 335 grain cast bullets. I tried about 5 different
powders to see how they compared to my Smith 500 revolvers. The
slower powders burn a little cleaner in the rifle barrel. Its a fun gun to
shoot I killed a lot of rocks with it today and some targets. The
accuracy was very good at the short range that I was shooting. I will
have to scope it to shoot at longer ranges as my eye sight is not
what it used to be. Recoil is fairly stout at top end loads with H110
and little gun powder,but not to bad with the limbsaver slip on pad.
From what I see so far it's a winner and I look forward to a lot more
shooting and load development with it.....
PS. I just love my 500's
