Why the 500 in a rifle?
Great question!
Here in Indiana we've been a shotgun/muzzleloader state forever. Just this year they've changed our deer hunting legal equipment laws to include rifles that shoot hand gun cartridges that are under 1.625" in case length. Sincethe 500 S&W is the biggest one on there I'm interested in it!
BUT....
I want to think about it ballistically before I drop $300 ona barrel and possibly a scope. I keep asking myself what a 500 S&W will do that my Encore 209X50 or my fully rifled 12 Guage with 3" Partition Gold sabots won't do? SO far I haven't answered that question well enough to rush out and buy a barrel!
SO I was hoping that some of y'all could convince me why I couldn't live without buying this barrel!
