-I have .500 S&W dies that would work for either of my two choices. -I have .500 S&W brass. Do I want to trim it or use it as is. -Either cartridge will kill anything I am likely to EVER hunt. That, is not the question. -Building a .500 S&W barrel is half the cost of buying a .500 JRH Revolver. How much I?m willing to spend must be decided by me.
I am not in a rush to make these decisions. It kind of boils down to, when I have the money and that project is at bat..........availability will likely win.
I could build the Smith barrel right now. But, I?m working on another project. When I?m done, if I have enough for a BFR, I?ll probably do the JRH. If I don?t, I?ll probably do the Smith.
I understand your dilemma. Whatever you decide I am interested in hearing your reports.
