500 S & W rifle

I have just purchased a NEF 500 S&W rifle (22 in barrel). Can only find ballistics of 7 inch handgun which is 1900 fps. Any info would be great Thanks butch910

You must be using one of the lighter loads because going from a 10" barrel to a 22" barrel, the .500 S&W should have around 3000+ lbs of energy instead of 1900-2500.

Chronographs are a common tool these days.....I got mine for well under a "C" note....find someonme that has one and shoot your loads over that and you'll know what your gun does .....better than reading some statistic somewhere.
