Thanks for watching. I have heard that S&W doesn’t recommend shooting the 500JRH in their 500mag but not sure why. I know the 460 shoots multiple calibers but has gain twist rifling to help accommodate. Have you tried the JRH? Thanks for tip.

Thanks for watching. Umarex makes some great air guns that also look pretty authentic. I have used a few of their Blow Back ones for training.

Great tip, I have not done that. It would be a good test to see if there is a velocity increase using the other "Lead" brake without the porting. Also nice you not having to change out the break frequently.

I imagine that also makes is much more affordable to shoot when ammo is scarce as well. I have heard TK Customs does great work. Thanks for the tip!

I was about to comment about this EXACTLY. I did the same with mine and absolutely love it. It gives a significantly cheaper option to enjoy the revolver. :)

Just posted the link to main comments. Hope that helps. Have fun

Love the stock grip. It fits really well in larger hands and with larger arms, recoil should really be tame. I shoot a modified Windsor stance which is very comfortable for me. Most people shoot with a Combat stance which I find a bit uncomfortable because of my size.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! It is a deal at $200 and a lot of fun

Good tip. Some rounds out there are slightly different tolerances and that really impacts Semi-Autos, I did really think about how it might effect revolvers since I have not experienced that in the past.

Thanks for watching. So true. It also seems like lighter sometimes generates more energy strangely enough. There is a balance, too heavy and not enough power behind it to get the optimal energy. Too light and lots of speed but limited energy.

Love the 460! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the kind comments and for watching.

Thanks for the kind comment and watching!

Thanks for replying. These Underwood rounds are not that long. I have fired them some more but have not had any more issues. I have heard that about the 629. That’s a good tip though and will keep me from accidentally buying the wrong rounds.

I have never had any stick, the rounds eject easily. Has it always been this way? S&W has a lifetime warranty, you should contact them to get it fixed.

@@BigBoreGuns The gun has been sent into S&W twice for warranty. They keep replacing parts but NO fix. I even offered to send them all the ammo I’ve tested and stuck, they refused. This is a special order gun, all black. I've tried just about all brand-new high-quality ammo with all the available bullet size. They ALL stick. This is all the ammo I tried. 500 S&W 400 grain, PTHP, platinum tip, Winchester 500 S&W 300 grain, Evolution, Hornady Muzzle=2060 fps, 50 yds=1861 fps, 100 yds=1685 fps 500 S&W 350 grain, XTP/Magnum, Hornaday Muzzle=1900 fps, 50 yds=1656 fps, 100 yds=1439 fps 500 S&W 350 grain, XTP/Magnum, Hornaday Muzzle=1900 fps, 50 yds=1656 fps, 100 yds=1439 fps 500 S&W 500 grain, FPXTP, Hornaday Muzzle=1425 fps, 50 yds=1281 fps, 100 yds=1164 fps 500 S&W 440 grain, Hard Cast, CoreBon Muzzle=1625 fps, Energy 2580 ft/lbs 500 S&W 350 grain, JHP, reduced recoil, Winchester Velocity, 25 yds, 50 yds, 75 yds, 100 yds, 150 yds, 200 yds

@@dougharlow6037There were some regular Smith and Wesson 500 cartridges that were not magnum. They are sometimes called 500 shorts. The case was a bit shorter and causes carbon rings to developed that would cause 500 mags to stick. It’s a nice gun, if it were mine I would take it to a gunsmith and see if they could identify the issue. Perhaps you could then go back and ask for a supervisor with some info to get sw to take ownership of the issues. Just a thought

@@BigBoreGuns thanks for the reply. I'm not sure taking it to a gunsmith would work. All the ammo I listed that stuck, when not fired, slide in and out real easy. You would have to shoot the gun to see the issue, which I assume S&W didn't?? Now if a gunsmith had somewhere to shoot the gun, that might work.

I feel for you, that makes sense, the case expands when fired so if the cylinder was warped or something, it would lock it in place. All cylinders doing it is strange. I hope you can get it resolved.

Thanks for watching. Yes buffalo bore makes some nice ammo. People usually think of them as +P but they have a nice line of standard pressure ammo

From what I have experience lately, is still seems hit or miss. QC could be greatly improved.

If you don’t mind sharing, which model do you have and why were you disappointed. Your comment really suprises me. It’s one of my favorites.

@BigBoreGuns 460v. I just meant the recoil wasn't as wrist shattering and epic as the internet led me to believe it would be. It shoots real nice.

​@@BigBoreGunswhy does the 5 inch 460 magnum come with 2 compensators can you use the one for hardcast for jhps too because it would be kinda hard to change out in the field I just ordered mine today be here sometime next week 😊

You’re right, the one that’s on gun when you get it is for jackets. Honestly I have never changed mine. I have heard that lead will come out ports if you don’t use the one for hard cast but I hardly shoot them so have not changed out. I even put lock tight on mine because it was a bit loose when I first got the gun and I didn’t want to have it loosen up again.

@@BigBoreGuns thank you for your response I will probably change mine out when I get it because I won't be shooting jhps that much great video

That would be awesome! It would probably sell really well at the right price.. There are a few similar designed double barrels but they are really expensive.

It's a lot of fun, and as a fan of the Chiappa Double Badger, I can't help but think how fun this would be if it was an O/U 22/410 pistol

They are a lot of fun and at 200 a bargain. Thanks for watching

I appreciate your watching. Yes Kentucky Ballistics is great, Scott is very entertaining. Love the videos. I went back and forth trying to decide on the 460 5" Vs 500 4" and ended up with the 460 first. After getting the 460, I was an X-Frame fan and bought this 500 Magnum as well. There's just something about these Big Bore Magnums...

I have had my eye of the Performance Center snub nose. I really like the 5 inch. I imagine the PC would have quite a bit more recoil but have not had the opportunity to shoot one. Thanks for watching..

Thank you I appreciate your watching it.

I think it must make a big difference. Talked to someone at a different manufacturer that doesn’t use it and they were pretty firm on not shooting 45LC or 454 in their 460Mag. They said it would work but can cause issues with the jump to the forcing cone which could damage the gun and that they found with theirs the gun was not accurate using non-460 ammo.

I appreciate your watching the video. S&B makes some good pleasant rounds to shoot and they are surprisingly affordable.

Thanks for watching the video. Last time I bought watermelons here they were 2 for $3. The ammo here is the really expensive part.

That must be quite a rig. Really like the Alaskan as well. Thanks for watching.

That would be a great accuracy test. The red dot seems right on but with a scope it would be interesting to see how it did longer distances. Thanks for taking the time to comment

Thanks for watching. That's a bummer. Actually I have never even heard of that happening before even after firing thousands of rounds myself and working with other in LE Training.

@@BigBoreGuns I bought a Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Special and it happened on my first 100 rounds. Hasn’t happened since, but maybe something to look for for your viewers in the future if they run into a lock-up.

Thanks for the tip, makes me wonder if the cylinder timing was off and it sheered off some of the jacket on the bullet when it hit the forcing cone. Glad it’s working well for you now.

@@BigBoreGuns I took it to my gunsmith, he had to bang the cylinder out with a mallet. When he did, something fell out. He didn’t see it but I did. I said, “hey Tim, something just hit the floor out of the gun.” Then we knew. 😊

@@BigBoreGunsit was cheap UMC ammo, so I only shoot “good stuff” through it now! BTW, new subscriber and loving your videos!

Thank you for the kind comment and watching the video.

Thank you for suggesting, that’s a great idea. 454 is one of my favorite cartridges. Good balance between recoil and ballistics.

Thanks for watching. I bought this 2.5 inch version new for $489. I always buy new for reviews to insure the gun has been properly cared for. I have bought some used guns for my personal use that have been really good. With Taurus I would just be sure Its in good working order. Not sure how their warranty works. I received a lifetime warranty purchasing this new. I am not aware of a 3" model. Their 4" is supposed to be good, is less expensive and is ported so recoil should be more manageable. I debated on the 4" but I don''t mind recoil and my personal preference was a shorter barrel so opted to go with this model. I am sure there would be benefits with a slightly longer barrel however.

@@vtribe502 oh I realized the one I’m looking at is the model 65 Toro so I guess the price range for that would be a little different 👍👍 great video man I really appreciate you!

Thanks for watching. Unfortunately nothing is really ever “free”, you’re paying higher tax rates to get those benefits. Government never does a good job at managing money. It’s a different mindset here, we place a higher value on our freedoms and independence. We don’t want to be like the rest of the world.

@@BigBoreGuns I enjoy more freedoms than you do, FYI we pay roughly the same level of taxes but we get more for it.

I appreciate your reply. Headed off to film a video now and need to fuel up car. Gas is about 3.75 a us gallon. I am curious what your gas prices are where you are?

@@BigBoreGuns €1.70 per litre for petrol and €1.66 or so for diesel . I drive an EV and can charge the car at work for free so that's a bonus

You mean Socialism. No thanks

Thanks for watching, I have not tried the HSM loads, I will have to give them a go.

Thanks for watching. The Colt Anaconda is a great gun. It is still a very powerful and high quality handgun and one of the coolest looking revolvers.

haha - your "first" will be an Anaconda (which is also a beautiful gun), but I predict your second will be the 500 (don't let the hype get to you, get to the range, one trip and you will be comfortable with it) - and I bet one of ~3-5 will be a Python. Wishing you all the best

Thanks for your feedback. I haven’t tried those and Smith and Wesson says not to use them in the 460. They may fit but I wouldn’t recommend them unless manufacturer said it was OK

A good way to work up to heavier rounds.

@@BigBoreGuns sort of like the federal fusion ammunition

I will have to try that out. Didn’t see that one when I bought ammo. Thanks for watching

Thank you for watching. The SB rounds were very accurate for me but I was shooting at only a max of 25 yards. Hadn’t had a chance to try it at longer ranges yet. I believe the gain twist rifling is not really limited to a specific barrel length, it’s a design that helps manage the 460mag model x-frame revolver cartridges. I am envious, really like the performance center model but don’t have one yet.

Thank you for watching and your taking time to comment.

This is what I bought. It was actually 489.00. It’s a bit confusing finding it. It came with different grips when it arrived. Might actually be Talo addition. Not listed on Taurus site when I was looking

@@BigBoreGuns Thank you.

As of 7-9-24, this revolver is still listed on the Talo website.

Thanks for watching. Glad to hear I am not the only one that recognizes that. In your experience, is the loosing up ongoing or does it tend to just be a break in?

@@BigBoreGuns I think it's just a break-in... I have just over 1400 rounds through my .357 Mag Tracker - and it hasn't loosened up anymore. I've only about 450 rounds through my 2.5" .44 Mag snub nose Tracker though (more expensive to shoot) - but I've noticed the same thing... No more loosening up; it's just a break-in period. I've shot at least a few cylinder's worth of 305 grain HSM bear loads through it as well - just to test them out; no ill effects to it. But yeah, I think it's primarily a .44 Special - due to it's lightweight construction, and only a part-time .44 Mag revolver. It's decent for the money though. So I see it as a .44 Special for range practice, and a .44 Magnum for when you venture out into the woods... It's a budget brand - so obviously not as tight as a S&W or a Ruger - but still good for what you're paying for. It's concealability is a high point for it, I think.

I appreciate your kind words, thank you for taking time to with them.

Thanks for watching. The model 29 is one of my favorites, its a great gun. You don't hear about flame cutting much these days because the tolerances are so much tighter. Not having the correct gap could cause issues. There is still quite a bit of energy coming out the gap, even with the tight gap. It could take your finger off if you put it in front of the gap. 500 recoil is different its a lot more push and not the flip type recoil of the 29. What barrel length do you have on your 29?

​@@BigBoreGuns Those are great points! I'm fairly inexperienced when it comes to revolvers. I only have that Model 29 (I took a look, it's a 6.5" 29-2) that was used by a great-uncle who enjoyed handgun hunting and a Colt Commando that my great-grandfather bought as surplus to use as a patrolman. You know, it is funny to think how certain guns behave to give you different kinds of felt recoil that might be unexpected. Just comparing their cylinder gaps to that of your S&W500 was what led me to that thought since obviously the .500 Mag is massively powerful, especially compared to .38 Special, so even with the small gap I imagine it's a ton of energy. Great video and discussion of the ammo too! I subscribed!

@@spartansfan1026 What a great story behind that 44. Thats one of the things I appreciate about firearms like that, they last and help revive memories of family history.

Thanks for watching. Out the door it was $1656. They are expensive but very good quality.

@@BigBoreGuns that's not bad really

I would tend to think you are probably correct. It just doesn’t feel as tight as some of the higher priced brands. 44 Special seems like a good option for more frequent shooting and it makes a nice self defense round

Thank you for replying. It is amazing all the energy the 50Cal Ammo has.
