[QUOTE="wapiti13, post: 57596, member: 2212"] Christopher, The main problem with the 500 S&W is that it uses "pistol" bullets. The BC of the 275 Barnes is .183. Even pushing it at 2000 fps as you claim (I never reloaded the 500 S&W), your trajectory past 250 yds is like an anvil. Pistol was designed to stop bears, etc. It takes a rifle bullet with a good BC to shoot long range. Ran out trajectory on a Sierra program. Assuming a 200 yd zero, the following is the run out:100yds +6"(1637 energy); 200: 0"(1083); 300:-26"(749);400:-80"(579);500:-170"(481). I would question your energy past 250 yds or so. Your trajectory also is a killer. Great round for its intended purpose which is not long range shooting. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
