.500 S&W Handi?
« on: May 30, 2005, 09:20:22 AM »
Does anyone know when these are supposed to be available?

What the rate of twist of the rifling is?

How many lands and grooves?

The diameter of the land to land and the groove to groove?

Sorry so many questions but I have a project in mind and am thinking this may just work if the rifling isn't too fast. Thanks for any information you can give me.

About 10 days ago H&R emailed me stating the 500 S&W should be available within a month.  If that was accurate they should be available in the next 2-3 weeks.  I'm sending a receiver off tomorrow for a few barrels including the 500.
