Speedloaders for .460 S&W and .500 S&W magnum revolvers?

Please suggest decent speedloaders for .460 S&W and .500 S&W magnum revolvers. Thanks so much.

+1 on the 5 Star. I bought one for my 454 & it’s very well made.

So Instead of shooting $10 worth of ammo in 60 seconds, you can shoot $20 worth of ammo in 30 seconds ! LOL Then again when one commits to the 460 or 500 magnums cost is not likely a factor. I have the 460XVR and no way do I need to load faster, after firing 5 full house loads I need a break, both wrists and ears ! (strictly just my opinion)

Those were my exact thoughts after reading the OP. I can't think of the scenario were quick reloads would be necessary with an X-Frame. If for self defense a air-weight J-Frame S&W would be about the same size and weight as a speedloader filled with large 500 S&W rounds

My thoughts exactly....
If 5 or 6 rounds of 460 /500 Magnum wont stop the threat ....do you think a reload is necessary ...I'm thinking it might be time run for it ?

When you go to the DQ and order a Blizzard ....Do Not tell the little girl behind the counter that yes you want the TEXAS size blizzard...not unless you can eat a whole gallon of ice cream all by yourself .....that was the biggest blizzard I have seen in my whole life and no I couldn't even come close to eating it all .

The Texas size biscuit in a cafe was as big around as a dinner plate and another place , Lulu's , had a cinnamon roll...it weighs 3 pounds and was bigger than that biscuit , 5 of us ate most , but not all , of it !

Be careful in Texas...there truly are some big things !!!!
