    SW 500 & 460

    It all boils down to what your looking to do with it. Both are excelent hunting revolvers, but each one has it's own pro's and con's. IMO, the .460 is a more versitile handgun, being able to fire .45LC, .454C, and the .460MAG. Almost every sporting store, including Dick's and Wal-Mart will have...

    Need help with my first squib!!!

    The barrel does not seem to be bulged. As soon as I got home, I pulled the grips off and took the cylinder and yoke assembly out and proceded to try and punch out the slug(s). I think the bullet(s) moved slightly, but I was unable to make any further progress. I didn't want to damage the barrel...

    Need help with my first squib!!!

    Hey folks. Took my buddy to the range with me today to do some shooting and had a reloading mishap. He was shooting his .38 handloads out of my 637 when he had a squib. He said the shot before that felt strange as well, so I believe there is 2 bullets lodged in the barrel. I tried my wooden...

    Airweights

    I have a 637-2 with a Ti cylinder swap that has seen over 1k rounds, and not a single issue. Like someone said in a previous post, just pay attention to you gun while cleaning it, and look for any defects or issues that could lead to a bigger problem down the road.

    500 s&w mag loads

    I've been pretty lucky with the loads I've been producing for my 500. I use a 300gr Hornady XTP with about 40gr of H110. I've had no issue hitting a paper plate at about 100 yards with my 8 3/8". The starting load for the 300gr bullet is around 42gr, but I stick to the 40gr to save my hand, and...

    Hey folks. We have a 2 day gun show coming to a town near me next weekend. Looking for a gently used police trade in, in either .38 or .357. Haven't been to the show in a couple years now, and I don't really know what the trade in prices are looking like currently. What would be a safe estimate...

    500 Magnum Reloading Question

    Just picked up a Model 500 from a local cop in town. It's a blast to shoot and I've already done some reloading for it. My question is, can I use .50 cal muzzle-loader JHP slugs in my gun? I've seen some TC copper slugs at sporting goods stores and they seem almost identical to some of the...
