So I went and picked up this most lovely gun I had been talking about all week.  Boy is it one nice handgun-not as heavy as i expected. It came with a bunch of ammo-mostly corbon so I fired off about 6 rounds-What a shooter-like holding on to a cannon!! I was instantly in love. I even shot one of gramps reloads (535 gr ranger rick bullet) wasn't bad at all. Heres a nice posed pic  I didnt shoot that deer - a friend did, but I use dermestid beetles to clean skulls for people so that is one I cleaned and whitened. Those beetles sure do a nice job!! AND... It even came with some WEREWOLF ammo!!!  I can't wait to get this lovely gun all Bl**died up!!

Sweet.
Range report and target pics due in short order.
That thing just plain looks nasty, Harry Calahan eat your heart out.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Way COOL! I know how loud my long one is; this Bad boy will be loud for anyone standing beside it. The range shooters usually wiat until I empty a cylinder before they try to hold on a target when they are shooting--mostly because of the dust that comes down from the rafters due to concussion! Good luck!

I have used ants to clean skulls before, but not beetles.

Ya dermestid beetles, its how the pros do it. They do a wonderful job and work fast. Ive had them eat an entire rat guts and all less than 8 hrs when they are really going good. Its pretty neat

How long is the cylinder? I always hear that the BFR 500 S&W Magnum cylinder is WAY too long, and I am curious about the length of a standard 500 S&W Mag cylinder.

Good looking gun, I like short barreled big bores which is why I built my 3.5" barreled Blackhawk in 500 Linebaugh. I'm sure you'll find at the range it's an attention getter when it goes off, they were telling me I was getting about 18" of flame and I'm sure yours will do the same and wake up all the long gun afficianado's that doubt the power of a short barrel.
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. John Wayne-The Shootist

I belong to a private gun club (basically our hunting land) and we have our own range so i mostly shoot alone. I cant wait to pull that baby out for deer season this year though. they all think I'm crazy with the 500sw 15" encore...and when they see those bulllets, oh boy!! I cant wait to get some paper shooting in just to see how far I can shoot it. Gramps is looking for a mold too so we can start casting for it....not sure what thoughts are on the "ideal cast bullet weight" for these.
