I have longed for Freedom Arms to produce a 50 cal cartridge for the model 83. I was on thier website tonight and there it was at the bottom of the page, a "press release" so to speak, of the 500 Wyoming Express.
It's a belted case with a .500" bullet. I know, no big deal, we have the 500 S&W.
Well, this one isn't so huge physically, and it comes within
100 fps of the 500 S&W. More packable than the Smith and it's a Freedom Arms. I'm severely addicted to these. I only shoot mine on special occasions. I consider these the finest revolvers ever built. I don't think they give up anything to the Custom Conversions by Bowen, Linebaugh, Crow, etc other than "artistry". Anybody that owns one of these knows what I'm talking about.
I'll be calling tomorrow to see how long the wait is on one of these. It took 7 months to get my 475 when they first came out. Mabey X-mas will come twice next year.
Complete details on this hangun/cartridge are on the website if your a FA fan. Look on the bottom of the home page.
