Default TARGET 500 MAG PC HUNTER

Was cleaning off my reloading bench and came across my first target that I used with my 500 Mag PC Hunter and my first batch of 700gr WFNGC bullets at 50 yards . The revolver has a Leupold 4x28mm mounted on it . Thought a few of you would get a kik out of it .

Whose mold ?
Whose gas checks ?

I have a custom Encore rifle barrel that uses .500 or .501 bullets being made for me .
I am looking for several good molds.

They do have a wallop but are manageable . Try to limit myself to 50 rounds per outing with the 500 revolver . I also have other revolvers that I take along on shooting outings . The shot out to the left is my last shot . I had my spotting scope set up and seen the group was pretty good and then I pulled the last couple of shots . This was the first time I was letting the big boys fly down the range and I was still trying to get a feel for the 700 grainers .

The moulds come from Dan at mountain moulds . The gas checks are Gator as checks . They are stout and affix to the bullets great . I just got in my last mould which casts a 535gr gas check Keith design bullet . What a good looking bullet . I will post a picture . It is a little fuzzy .
