If you start going to 500 gr- 700 gr your best with 6" or longer, the heavies start to tumble out of the 4 & 2 3/4. If you enjoy the 44 mag, I would believe you would enjoy the 500, and as everyone stated, RELOAD!. Be Safe,
Exactly why John Ross wanted a different barrel twist from the factory's original, go figure ?
