A 500 is a cheap gun and I believe, through experience with the 500 I have shot (my buddy's), I wouldn't (with any ammo) attempt a shot over 125 yards no matter how confident you are.after allit is a shotgun....not a rifle. as an avid bowhunter i say, get in closer! good luck.
That may very well be. But I've had mine for over 20 years and never a problem. Taken more deer with it than my 1187 and 870 combined. And I dearly love those two guns too
