Good source for S&W 500 cast bullets?

AKGunner · March 7, 2008, 04:16 PM

Can anyone recommend a good source for S&W 500 cast bullets? Cost is an issue. I intend to use them for practice. I'll carry factory ammo for when I bring my gun into the back country.

I also posted this same question on the High Road

Thanks in advance.

Running with the big bores, I would choose:http://www.pennbullets.com/50/50-caliber.html

There a little more on the high side but the quality is superb.

Also if you really want to punch holes through anything you'll see out in the woods, try these HEAVY HITTERS::

akgunner, what size bullet are you looking for?

Wyocarp,

I've only own the gun for a couple of months. I've shot 425 grain bullets through it that I handloaded. About 150 rounds. I was using 20 gr of blue dot. It's relatively easy to shot recoilwise with that load. I have other recipes for that grain bullet, but I've yet to load it any hotter.

Thanks for your's and everyone's help.

Which gun do you have? Barrel length?

4 inch s&w 500.
