To answer the op's questions. I think a large percentage of the US population, probably the majority, still put their faith in the "system" to protect them. Speaking for my wife and me, while we hope to never have to use the guns we carry, we carry them whenever legally permitted, because we...

I have one just like yours. My recommendations are to always think and practice safety. Shooting glasses, ear plugs & muffs, shooting glove(s) are all required - not options. I would also recommend loading just one round at a time until you get used to the excellent trigger and the recoil. I...

that's great customer service Looks like CT is doing all they can to keep former customers like you and me, and to get new ones. Good for them, and for us.

Batts arrived today. CT did work through their problems regarding the free batteries for life pgm. If you haven't received your batts for this year, please read thru this thread and reapply; you will most likely get your batteries. Thank you, CT!

well, not exactly A couple months ago I read online that CT was no longer offering the free batts for life pgm to new customers, but that anyone already in the pgm, I believe prior to 2021, would still get them after submitting the requests once per year. My OP questioned why it was taking so...

Dude, I think you missed the point here I'm aware that batteries can be purchased, but why would I want to spend $15 to get six batteries that CT promised to send for free? BTW, I used to manage a camera store where we sold those batts for $2-$2.50 each - they cost us less than 29 cents a...

guess what, guys After posting my gripe here I decided to call CT customer service. No luck, couldn't find a phone number. I emailed a not so nice "what's going on" query and just got an email reply. Guy said they lost a lot of data from Dec. through Feb which included all of the batt for life...

Hope this is the right forum section to get an answer. Have been in the free batteries program since 2016. Each year, in Jan, I provide the info and receive three sets of batteries for my j frame and two Rugers. Everything was ok until Feb '21 when CT said they had to come up with new packaging...

Two words sum it up: magnificent & outstanding! I'll bet you can't get the smile off your face.

A couple weeks ago my 500 mag was returned after they re-barreled it, put on a new cylinder, adjusted the yoke and test fired it, all under warranty. Total time, two months almost to the day. No charge for anything, including shipping both ways. I couldn't ask for better service.

this works for me I get good results in my 15 Sport using Hornady 55gr FMJBT with 23.5gr of Hodgdon Benchmark and CCI #41 mil spec primers. Case brand seems to make no difference and the rifle cycles reliably every time. Chronographed at 5 yards it yields and average of 2816 fps. Best five...

Keep those replies coming! Thanks to all who have replied so far. It's given me a lot to mull over. I'm particularly interested in trying some of the slower single base powders bc I don't need max velocities and I think they will be less damaging to the barrel face and forcing cone. I'm...

I have used only Winchester and Starline brass, both nickle plated, and can vouch that both are really quality cases. Never have had any type of problem with either brand so never had to scrap any. I have read that there can be quite a bit of volume capacity between all the many brands so it...

Thanks ruggyh. I have thought about using 2400 with the 350 XTP. Do your loads of it erode the barrel face? I hope I did the PM reply successfully, thanks for offering more info that way. If you could include the charge of 2400 that you use that would help. Thanks again buddy.

Thanks DonD and JohnK for your comments and suggestions. I'm going to check out any load suggestions that come from the forum and then decide on a couple to try. That remaining Lil Gun is going to be handed off to a shotgunner in my gun club.

I’m requesting help from veteran 500 mag reloaders and shooters. Personal experience in the form of barrel damage and how to avoid it drives this request. Since my questions concern the revolver as well as reloading I will post this in the modern revolver section of the forum as well. I have...

My best results have been with 14 gr Titegroup, Winchester cases, lg rifle primers and Hornady 350 gr xtp bullets. Last month @ 25 yds my best 3 shot group was 3/8" and best 5 shot group was 1 3/8". Done by resting forearms on suport. My suggestion is .5gr increments since a small change in...

Thanks Kimberguy and Forester for your replies. No, I don't have the bullets yet and am trying to locate some. I have been using the 350 gr. XTP's with terrific results, but you know how it is, there just might be a better load out there. Hornady promised to send some loading data but I haven't...

Anybody have any good results with Hornady 300 grain FTX bullets loading for the .500 mag?
