Solo Handgun Moose hunt. Brought the rifle in case I saw a griz in rifle range from camp. Left it in camp. There's a couple running around killing moose so they gotta go! I did see one but he was about a mile away and on the move. Pistol is a Gallagher built 500L. 455gr plane base water dropped WW from Ballisticast mould. 29gr LilGun, 1329fps. I hunt an any bull area and am not picky as to antler size.

Beautiful revolver. What are the grips made of?
Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
Would'nt that be a good medicine for sir Griz too? As soon as it come close enaught, but you are still safe I bet. What is the effective range of such a pochettable cannon?

The 50's are great. I have shot the Linebaugh and even made a mold for it. I still like the JRH and I shoot a 440 gr PB boolit I made a mold for at 1350 fps.
I steered away from the cost of the Linebaugh but it is still a great caliber.
Good shooting and for the first kill it is great. I wish we could have seen the shot.
Nice job!
Great job! Nice way to do it! Gotta love the big bores. I shoot a Keith and a couple of lfn's out of mine. Nice thumper. Interesting sights.
CLASSY looking wheelgun right there! Good barrel length, nice grips, and excellent choice in sights.

Yes, good bear medicine. But in my moose hunting area griz are killing moose. I took my rifle in case I saw one from camp in rifle range I could kill it.
“Effective” range. My personal limit is 100yds IF conditions are right, I have a rest and I have no option of getting closer. But the point behind handgun hunting is getting close!
Bowen Rough Country rear. White line front makes for great contrast. Front sight is DX Weigand design so easy to change front sight.
Quite an adventure. Thanks for sharing.
its nice to hear a 500L takes a game animal. good for you!!!
"Praise God, it is time to go home." Good for you. I love the meat wagon, too. Great way to put a water trough to use.
Congrats and thanks for sharing ..gods land for sure .

Please don't take this the wrong way but Bear kill Moose. It's what they do. I'm sure they aren't killing them for sport.
Yup, Grizzly's kill moose. I eat moose. We are in competition on the food chain. He has big claws and big teeth. I have a big brain and big gun. I kill Grizzly if I can. That's what we do here in Alaska. In the area I live and hunt we have had an explosion in the griz population over the past 15 years or so. So much so that the State did away with us having to buy a tag to kill one. Also, griz can now be killed over bait in the spring.
Congratulations, any animal with a handgun is special. Lots of good eating there.
BIG OR SMALL I LIKE THEM ALL, 577 TO 22 HORNET.
Nice. Would make hunting them easier.
what is the length of the barrel on your handgun?
if I may ask
Hit em'hard
hit em'often
5 1/2
Hi Snyd, Good job !! and I like the picture of you 500 linebaugh, I am going to have one built just like yours, If you had to do it again would change anything? Best Regards frank
Congrats on a great hunt ; )
