Love mine and once I got the dies/press setup right, I've been cranking out nice hand loads for it. I cut down Starline 500 S&W brass and finished it on my Lee trimmer. I use the RCBS dies which are advertised for the 500S&W/Special and bought their single crimp die for that set so I can seat a crimp separately. Been running home cast 475gr bullets and the accuracy is great out to about 100 yards. It does pack a wallop but the BFR design helps to handle the recoil nicely. Yes, I too can blame Max for my 500 caliber obsession but it is also nice to have great company as he says. Good shooting!
