RE: 500 S&W Rifle ballistics???
I don't have the ballistics. Your 209 X 50 would probably do just as good ajobas the 500 S&W. But you have to admit that the 500 in a carbine barrel would be one heck of a deer/black bear slayer probably out to 150 yds or so. And would be quicker to reload if needed. Besides, why does anyone need an excuse to buy another gun. I myself don't really need a new Taurus PT1911, but there's one at the gun shop that keeps begging for me to take it home.
