1mile50,

Thank you for posting the info about reduced loads. I didn't know anyone had worked out safe reduced loads for the 500 yet, but the fact that there exist does make the .500 more appealing. I do like the Model 500's, and if they were priced a little better I'd consider one for sure. A good condition used gun is a definite option, and in te future I might just pick one up.

As a side note, could you please either make the picture you posted (a lot) smaller, or remove it from your post. It is just HUGE and I let it load for almost three minutes and it only loaded enough of the pic for me to see the H110 line on your load label before I stopped the page load. It's just too big for us dial-up users.

Thank you,

Mike
