RE: INDIANA hunters
How does that .500 shoot? If I get into the rifle hunting this would be my choice. What kind of range and groups you getting. I have a Handi in a .17HMR and it is a tack driver. I aslo have a H&R Ultra Slugger in 20 gaugeI use for gun hunting and it will shoot 1 hole groups at 50 yards with Lightfields .

Yeah I'm goning to take advantage of it. I have a H&R Handi-Rifle in .500 S&W. I'll be using that and my inline this year.

Any one taking advantage of using a rifle this year? I am currently trying to decide if I should get a rifle or not. If you are going to be using one, what will you be using?

I did some scouting down in southern IN this weekend on some of the public lands. There was a LOT of movement! Ironically we saw some moving right THROUGH the archery range in the park.

I work at a gun shop in Kokomo and have sold quite a few .500 Handi rifles....I say use the 20ga!! Most guys arent getting the groups they want and it kicks like a mule!! You can get about 150 yards with the Hornady 300grn sst bullets but your 20ga will do the same. You may want to look into Hastings slugs for it. I had one and shot lightfields also and it was a tack driver!! Dont waste your money unless you just want something new!
