I see that H&R is now chambering the 500 S&W in their handi rifle. This would be a very interesting firearm to own. For what a handi rifle costs I may just have to get one.

Anyone got any real information on what the 500 will do out of a longer rifle barrel. It comes with a 22" tube but I was thinking of maybe cutting it to 16 - 18 inchels long. I figure a 400 grain bullet is getting almost 1700 fps from a revolver it's gotta be good for about 2100 - 2200 fps from a sealed breech rifle with another 6 - 8 inches of barrel length.
