Wow, that's some super serious recoil - especially for such a long barrel!... Long travel time in that barrel - for maximum power. That'll take care of anything! 💥
Absolutely beautiful handgun, sir. I’ve been looking at Freedom Arms model 83 in .500 WE for a while, but I think this might be a better option. Thank you for showing it off !
I’m definitely getting a cylinder made for my Freedom Arms in JRH now. Love to see a reloading video from start to finish. Where you start with cutting the 500S&W cases down to the final loaded rounds
Love it, I found for me the only time I hit my knuckle was without a glove, as with just a little sweat it was too slick to hold under full power loads, because they do have a little back up to ‘em. A good tight, thin glove is an awesome shooting aid. It is also amazing what kind smoke those things bring to a target. Those big heavy bullets don’t like to stop and the energy transfer to steel plates is a thing of joy. It is always fun to see people’s reactions to seeing it for the first time when they have only seen bullets in the 300-350 grain range impact a plate. The added bonus is when you hear that thunk as you drop a round into the cylinder. Enjoy it and I look forward to more of the BFR adventures.
seeing as what it does to the plate , no words are needed for that monster!! I'll pretty much stick with my whimpy 44 mag! LOL ....Thanks for sharing.......Keep yer powder dry....
Have wondered by Magnum Research uses a rather vertical profile on the back of that trigger guard, as compared to say, a Ruger Blackhawk or something similar. The recoil compresses the handle in one's palm just enough to smack that guard into the face of your finger. Pretty sweet rig you have. I'm sure you'll find loads you can back off a good bit and make a nice thumping (but pleasant) load in this. Sort of like a 280 to 300gr load in the .45 Colt running 850-900. Big push, not a crack.
Is yours the Lipseys also? Have you tried the 360 grain Underwood loads? I chronoed one at 1843 fps. Case extraction is very sticky but so far so good.
Been Looking at those BFR .500 JHR for the last year ... always had it on the backburner... Great looking Revolver! Grip is kinda like bisley style though not. Great video ! Thank You.
That's the way to "Ride the Lightning!!! Good shootin'! You got a boomer there for sure Plowboy 😉 and you do seem to handle it very well...Good luck with the JRF and happy shooting! Oh, by the way, when does T Rex season open in Northwest Alabama? 😁 Take care and stay safe my friend!
I was about half way thru the video when a call came in from some Alabama Grizzlies. They were all sorts of concerned about what was making the ground shake down there. They asked if the Outback was receiving bear-war refugees? I had to explain that Oregon is a Grizzley Free Zone, but I sent them a map to the Governor's Mansion down in Sacramento. I told them that guy will take in anybody or anything. I did mention that moving to California, there was a possibility of earthquakes. They were convinced some west coast earthquakes couldn't be anywhere near as scary as what they just experienced from some gun-nut out there in his back yard 😳
I’ve been thinking about this for a long time of taking a 500 Smith & Wesson cutting it down and necking it down to 41 magnum have a custom reamer cut to modify a Thompson contender barrel in 41 mag the JRH cartridge being 1.4 inches is the length I was thinking about with this project
Nice to see you shoot this. With the events of today has got me seriously reconsidering my priorities. Currently I have my eye on a RIA 1911 10mm going on the cheap so far. Also found another option on a platform I love marked at a price I'm surprised by. Maybe in a month we will see. Right now though the metaphorical griz is a roaring its ugly head, which leads me to a conclusion investment in precious metals, more brass, lead, and such. Feed what I have. Mountain man
There's a back stop further back. You can hear the bullets hitting dirt on the misses. Plus, the angle from where I'm standing facing the target is safer than you can see from where the camera is.
Man!! I'll bet that thangs gotta heck of a recoil to it!! I've said this before, but I loved that one vidio you did shooting those magtech 12 gage brass shells. Coud you do another (Longer) vidio shooting those? I just got my nitro cards, wads, and overshot cards and shot for mine yesterday!!!
was not sure that grip was the best choice but i see it likely is. no waay would i want a tacky rubberized grip twisting in my hand w/o a pair of asbestos mittens on
