I don't have any modern books that have these rounds in them or I would look them up... So I ask here and see what happens.

For a few years now I have wanted a 16.5" to 18" 50 AK tube for my Encore. One reason is that I loved the 8 years living there and a very strong desire to return and never leave again

. Plus the ability to drop just about anything out to 150 yds

But I wonder how much the 50AK and the 500 S&W are alike or different. I don't have a 500 S&W in my cartrige collection so I cant put the two to gether and play :p

So how many have shot these rounds in longer Bbls and how do they compare
