700 Grainers in a Handi?
« on: April 13, 2010, 03:52:23 AM »
Just to clarify, I CAN shoot the 500 S&W 700 Grain "Ranger Rick" rounds in my Handi Rifle correct?

   I'm sure I read on here that quickdtoo has shot that weight of bullet out of his 500 s&w handi.... I would like to try a few for fun, but 440gr bullet is all the heavier bullet I have tried in my handi and shoots quite accurate.

What state are you in? Just shoot north away from ALABAMA when you touch it off and I will catch your arm as it comes over!

I thank God everyday for my loving wife and all the fond memories of hunting with my Papa from a child until now.

Please take time to take a kid hunting, it will be a life long memory and blessing for both of you!

They shoot fine, best velocity and accuracy was at 1430fps using Lil'gun, be prepared for some fearful recoil tho.

They are sizable, but the right shape, the "little" one on the right is a Cast Performance 440gr!!  ;D

I didnt feel a thing, a thing, a thing..........
If everbody with these pointed them in the same direction and fired at the same time would the earth slow/accelerate or tip on it's axis?

Make sure your medical deductible is met before firing one off.  The 350gr hornady's are too much for me.
