I would like to know when we could purchase that firearm as I love large frame firearms and they are fun to shoot. If the T/C Encore could chamber it then there would be a much greater improvement in foot pounds of energy. Of course, I do not know if it would be a safe chambering simply as there are limits to any firearm but they could someday beef up their encores and then it would be a safe chambering. You would need a very heavy barrel with a large brake and then it would be pleasant to shoot. I have an encore chambered for the 458 Winchester with a 25 inch heavy barrel and a effective brake which will give similar ballistics to the Bushwhacker as I have it in a handgun configuration.. The Bushwhacker works with short barrels unlike the 458 as rifle cartridges need a longer tube to reach respectable velocities. I bet the Bushwacker would be a easy cartridge to reload and firing a 500 S and W would be a pleasure to shoot in it.

6:51 Oh yeah, I need one of those just based on those guys reaction in the background haha

Front sight on my 460 walked out too. I had to drill and pin it. S&W just ain’t “it” no more.

So, the next project for you. How about a .400 or .405 Bushwhacker, built off the .405 Win cartridge? With similar max pressures as the .460 or .500 S&W, with 240 gr. & 265 gr. bullets you should be able to get 2400 - 2600 fps with about 60% of the recoil. Maybe less, considering the gun weight would probably be equal or greater, being built on the same frame. Seems to me that would be the ultimate all around handgun hunting cartridge!

how does the bushwacker perform in a rifle? and how does it compare with the .50 Alaskan or the .50-110 WCF?

@tiiarmory

Жыл бұрын

We’re just about to complete our first few .500 BW rifles. We’ll be able to run longer cartridge lengths in that context and utilize a broader span of bullets (such as the brass CEBs). I suspect ballistics will slightly exceed the .458 Lott; usable case capacity is pretty similar with these loads. The .500 BW is considerably longer than the .50 Alaskan and slightly longer than the .50-110. It shoots a smaller diameter bullet and has a somewhat smaller base diameter. With the BW, we can run higher pressures (comparable to the .500 S&W) in the BFR and certain other platforms than would be advisable with a .50-110. In those contexts and for this reason, we achieve a fair bit more performance than the .510” cartridges (there is also a much broader array of suitable handgun bullets in .500” than .510”). Of course, one reason for the considerable increase in power the .500 BW offers over the .510” BFR conversions is the Ti Pro muzzle brakes we use. Without an effective muzzle brake, it just isn’t practical to exceed .500 Magnum ballistics from a BFR. All of the .50 AK/.50-110 handgun numbers I’ve seen fall well short of what +L .500 Magnum loads can do. Folks reach a recoil ceiling before they hit the power potential of those cartridges in the converted revolvers. In some rifle platforms, like the Ruger No. 1, one could run the .510” cartridges at comparable pressures to the .500 Bushwhacker, producing very similar results.

Can't wait to see this added to the next Resident Evil game.

The .500 BW is a semi-rimmed case design with a maximum cartridge length of about 2.95” in the BFR. A rimless variant with a slightly shorter cartridge length (perhaps 2.85” or so) would function in an AR-10, given a properly designed magazine.

“Mammoth Revolver” that’s the name I’d give it.

You can start with a number of chamberings. .500 S&W is the easiest, since it does not require rebarreling. You can also begin with .460 S&W, .45/.410, .450 Marlin, .444 Marlin, or .30-30. The .45-70 has too thick and large of a rim to be suitable. It is important to start with a five shot long cylinder BFR (some are now built in the six shot configuration). I can’t mention price on KZread, unfortunately.

The .50-110 is quite similar to the .500 BW (case capacity is essentially identical). The distinction between the two is essentially the same as between a .500 Maximum and a .500 S&W. We’ve loaded a 500 gr +L bullet in the .500 BW to 2,400 fps from a 20” barrel, though that’s with a significantly longer COL (3.15”) than we utilize with the revolvers. The usable case capacity here is significantly higher than is the case for a .458 Lott, and performance is quite comparable. When feeding through the magazine, a .50-110 in an 1886 is more limited on COL (2.75” or so) than the .500 BW BFRs. In a single shot, the sky is the limit for bullet projection and the two rounds are in a pretty similar spot.
