is that new? i didnt know you could still get them with that grip. nice guns, always liked how they felt in my hand.

[hogndoggin]

no, it's used. bought it from a reliable gun store. they also had the same gun S&W, just a little more beat up and more carbon build-up from shooting too many .38's. same price tho. i went with the ruger, glad i did. shoot's real good, but kicks like a damn mule.

With a lack of anyplace to shoot, I sold my hand cannon. Had a S&W 500 Magnum

Mine got stolen.....don't ask how.....if I knew I'd have it back....Oh well...the police put the serial number in the database...if somebody hocks it, I'll get it back...if the perp offs somebody with it...it won't be me they come to blame.

what are you shooting for a load?

i got some target loads, but i shot the hydra shoks the other day.

I had some 158 gr SWC copper plated slugs I loaded over 12 grs of 2400, they shot pretty good from my 4 5/8" Blackhawk. That load did not lead with a hard cast bullet either. I loaded some 158 gr hard cast with IMR 4227, but have yet to try them.

I normally shoot either of these rounds:
Hornady 500 S&W 300 gr FTX
Winchester 500 S&W 400 gr. PTHP

Safety goggles and hearing protection is a must. You do not want to fire it on an indoor range.

I took a 300 pound bull elk in Colorado a few years back with it. Roughly 100 yards and one shot using the Hornady 300 gr FTX round.
