    The Monster Lives!



    NOE 502-575 mould. All my boolits drop above 590gr. You'd have to be crazy to shoot this boolit out of a handgun. I'm even scared to shoot it out of a rifle to be honest. I'll let you guys know if I survive.

    This boolit was designed for the 500 S&W but I'll be launching it through a front stuffer. I'll be adding a limb saver for this one.

    I first thought it was for a 45/70, but when I reread and realized it was for a handgun, wow! That’s going to be a real hand cannon!

    Heck, you only live once. Try it! Many years ago when 44 Magnum was the Big Guy for production handguns, I had a raging case of "Magnumitis" and reloaded my 44 Magnums hot. I enjoyed the wrist breaking recoil and the muzzle blast that sounded like a sonic boom. (One time I was shooting some of my "T-Rex Killer" loads at a range neat LAX when I heard some chattering behind me. I turned around and saw a bunch of Asian men watching me shoot my S&W 629. Occasionally heard "Dirty Harry" mentioned but didn't understand anything else. Turns out the group was a Japanese tour group that leaned towards shooting. They were visiting ranges in CA, AZ and NV and shooting). Even at 75, I'd give the S&W 500 a try...
