I'm having weird problem with Winchester .500 S&W brass both standard and nickle plated. I'm using single stage Rock Chucker and RCBS .500 S&W dies (I'm waiting for Redding dies to come in) but back on topic. When I bell the brass the Winchester brass takes considerable more effort to bell...

I think I figured it out. My RCBS crimp / seat die (I was using it to crimp and seating with my Lee seater) was causing the tops of the bullets to deform. Now I seat with Lee and then re-adjust and crimp with the same die in another step. I hope that is the issue.

The load data was provided to me from John Ross. The cylinder will accommodate 2.300" OAL.

I do seating and crimping as two separate steps. What confuses me is that come rounds slide right in and some require quite an effort to go the last 1/8" into the cylinder.

I'm having somewhat of an issue with reloading for my 500. My load is 500 gr Hornady XTP - 34 grains of 4759 seated to 2.300. Twice fired brass (Winchester). I loaded 5 rounds last night check for fit in the cylinder - 2 slide in easily the remaining three slide into cylinder until there is...

I load 8.5gr of Unique with lead 240gr SWC or if I want lighter load I use 7.9gr.

I'm back and I'm alive The recoil wasn't that bad however I managed to bruise the underside of my knuckle on my index finger. I'm a lefty still trying to figure out how it happened. Btw I love the gun I can't wait to shoot it again.

I'm going to shoot mine for first time tomorrow (6.5" barrel) I got some Hornady 300gr FXT and Winchester 400gr Winchester Supreme. I'm a little apprehensive to tell the truth. Paul

What is the best way to remove lead from the barrel / comp? So far I have only shot - jacketed or plated bullets.

Hello I guess I went right ahead and jumped with both feet. I just took delivery of S&W 500 - 6.5" and S&W 460V - 5". I would like to polish the cylinders to a mirror finish with felt wheel and some mother mag polish / flitz. Is there any dangers with polishing the cylinders - weakening of the...
