Hoping the working with Fort Scot will make that available and people have that choice. Predominantly I expect it would be for hunters because of the performance characteristics of their bullets. In both heavier and lighter bullets and that they make sense to use in hunting situation in both long guns and pistols.
Started cutting metal today on pumps actions....

In all practicality 600 grain bullet in 500 S&W offers no performance gains. Once you reach about 450 grains (with a well designed projectile) terminal performance is reached- at this weight penetration will be not be an issue.
Yes the 600 will kill critters (if designed well) but not any better that the lighter monolith offers and definitely won't shoot any where as flat. At 600 grains a copper bullet is going to pretty long and might even have some stability issues out past 100 yards- Just like the 700 grain lead bullets. You would probably need a John Ross model or a BFR single action to shoot those accurately at distance.
good luck
be safe
