believe it or not, over on Yoki Sturrup's KZread channel, someone suggested to her that she outta team up with Scott and do a .500 Magnum video together. considering the fact that she made a video where she fires one at a gun range

I have to say your slow mo footage shows a very good example as to why you would want to start with one round in the cylinder for beginners on these big bore guns. That “consistent hold” of the trigger back when riding the recoil is demonstrated easily to see and understand. Awesome educational video!

10:03 moments exactly like this are why this channel is so important for so many things. Imagine being an animator or VFX artist and having this as a resource for making hyper realistic gunshot effects. Or being an ammunition supplier and seeing what the rounds hitting different mediums do and having an AHA moment and figuring out some way to design better munitions. The fact that he keeps it goofy keeps enough of us in love with it so that it's at all feasible to do.

That recoil comparison starting 6:30 is incredible I have watched many guns shot in slow-motion, but the way this is filmed, lit, framed, it's just excellent! Very good visual of the difference a bit of powder makes too. Thanks for the video!

That engraved pistol belongs under a glass case, in a custom fit cut out, lined with silk. It's beautiful.

Based on the effect on the various liquid targets, I suspect that the .500 S&W Special isn't moving fast enough to get the hollow point to expand much, if at all.

My ex father in law had a S&W .500 MAG with the 3" barrel. We loaded many dif rounds for it. We've shot it each well over 1k rounds. We LOVED it ! We were shooting pretty accurate at 70 yards once used to the recoil without the anticipation of its power. Our buddies would always back out from shooting. Limitless America in Washugal, WA has the exact same gun. Used for $1149. I've been looking for every excuse not to get it but after watching this then, I'm getting up early to go get it tomorrow! Our loads where Star line brass, cci large rifle primers, hot loads where 54.2 grain or 52.4 grain of Unique or Hodge 110 powder and light loads where 46.2 to 48 grain powder. Bullets where always Hornady XTP 350 grain. I'm so excited to go get this thing tomorrow that I'm not sure I'll sleep tonight! Awesome vids as always brother! Keep them coming!

It depends on the bullet. LOTS of bullets expand at subsonic speeds, but these were clearly not designed for that. Since most .50 bullets are intended for .50 AE and .500 Magnum, which throw 350-grainers at 1300+ and 1800+ fps respectively, using these bullets in the subsonic Special was either lazy or stupid on the ammo maker's part.

I own a 460V five inch muzzle brake equipped full lug barrel X-frame revolver that shoots 460 S&W magnum, 454 Casull and 45 Colt loads from mild to wild. Even the 45 Schofield if you can find any. TK Custom altered my cylinder to accept moon clips for 45 ACP. And the moon clips also hold 460 Rowland, 45 Super and 45 Winchester magnum using Starline Brass. Versatility defined.

It's one of the most versatile rounds, there's rounds that are more manageable than others that don't seem like extreme overkill for certain applications, but some pack enough punch to take down a bull, they're no joke. 45 ACP is still going to be best for use against humans overall for most people but definitely isn't nearly enough for other applications. I suppose a gun that can fire 45 Colt, 454 Casull, and 410 is going to be more versatile yet if I could only have one handgun.

My 500 mag was way more comfortable to shoot than the 29-2 I had. But of course the 500 was about 50lbs heavier than the 29

If you're using bullets designed for the 500 magnum in the 500 special loading that's probably why you're seeing so little energy transfer. Those bullets are designed to expand at 1,500 fps, not 1,000 fps. Same sort of thing happens with 10mm auto, most loadings use bullets designed for the much more popular .40 s&w, and the extra speed causes much less controlled expansion. Anyway since the .500 special is so uncommon I'm betting that they just used a bullet designed with .500 magnum velocities in mind.

I've still got a cylinder or 2s worth of the 275 gr Cor-Bon 500 Special from nearly 20 years ago. The recoil out of the full-length X-frame was similar to shooting .45 ACP out of an 1911, but at nearly 1000 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.

01:48 I think that’s the best looking modern firearm I have ever seen! It’s gorgeous!

I think that the 500 special would best for range practice or for a shooter that wanted to try your 500 magnum revolver.

I initially assumed that .500 Special would be equivalent to .454 Casull. Nope. .454 will launch a 360-grain bullet at 1400-1500 fps, halfway between the .500 special and .500 magnum with 350-grainers. .50 AE does 350 grains at 1300-1400 fps. Standard-pressure .44 magnum fires a 355-grain bullet at 950-1050 fps, so .500 Special is right on par with .44 magnum. The problem is that those bullets were clearly made to expand at supersonic velocities like you get from .50 AE and .500 Magnum, so the .500 Special just couldn't make them pop. Bad design on the manufacturer's part.

At on time Cor=Bon offered S&W 500 special, a 350 grain FMJ that clocked 952 fps out of my 4" Smith 500. Don't know if they still offer this round. Your engraved gun is a work of art. I don't think I would being myself to shoot it - but who knows?

Wow! the engraving looks amazing!

So what can we conclude about 500 special after watching this? It's a good round for home defence if you're likely to round a corner and come nose to nose with an intruder, OR, if you need to shoot them through an internal stud wall and not worry about over over penetration. Awesome 👍🏻

Such an awesome video Mr. Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. You never cease to entertain us with new content. Keep it up! Edit: thanks for all the likes. Let’s try to get me to 100 likes, I would appreciate it. Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, your heart ❤️ disappeared on my comment. I’d appreciate it if you could re add a heart back to the comment.

I suspect that the reason for this huge difference between the .500 Special and the .500 Magnum is the fact that the .500 Special is an FMJ and the .500 Magnum is a JHP.

Frank, I think you got a good point. But we all have admit that 500 Magnum still will deliver more energy than 500 Special. Even if it’s a JHP in both calibers hitting the same type of target.

Hollow points are always gonna deliver more damage because the bullet is getting bigger in diameter as it passes through the target.

That Special drizzled less than 2007 movie Bumblebee.

@@corbinpowell128 Yes very true, I guess that the power of .500 Magnum is between 33% and 50% higher compared to the .500 Special if you would use qn identical projectile in both casings.

Scott, in between the Magnum and Special is the .500 JRH, which also fits in the Magnum chamber with a case length of 1.4". Its case length and power level splits the difference between those two, and it is commercially loaded by Buffalo Bore. Magnum Research chambers the BFR short cylinder in the JRH cartridge. You'll definitely have more fun with it. Enjoyed the video!

As a famous soldier once said, "engravings serve no tactical advantage whatsoever, but that was some fancy shooting. You're pretty good."

About the eggplant puree, I can’t believe you’d waste something so wonderful. You can eat it, drink it, roll it down a hill, take a bath with it, paint your walls brown. I’ll order you another one because I think you don’t know what you’re dealing with here

Watching Scott’s videos are one of my favorite past times. And it lets me know that there is something good about living in Kentucky. Love your videos Scott. Keep it up!

I wish you well bro.

The eggplant puree joke had me laughing out loud😂

That engraved revolver is gorgeous!!

You need to get Matt to fire the 500 Special without telling him that’s what is loaded in the gun 😁

500 special: when you want to use your 500mag for realistic home defense. Great video 👍. Ballistically a very cool round. Please don't destroy that really pretty 500 mag. I have a sanctuary safe it can live in.

Don't listen to the scammer.

I love your videos. I would like to see a comparison of 44, 38, and 500 special in gel. Thanks 💙

6:32 Scott , sounds and looks ( recoil )like a .38 Special like in the TV series ´Streets of San Francisco´ but those was short nose revolver . I mean short ! 3.5 " or less ??

The .500 Special is basically a fatter Colt .45, about same muzzle velocity but with a projectile that's ~50gr heavier. I've always liked it, it won't blow out your ears on the range, and for target shooting up to 20 yards you really can't tell a difference in accuracy, except there's >50% less recoil and you can get away with using regular safety muffs w/o plugs.

Standard-pressure .44 magnum fires a 355-grain bullet at 950-1050 fps, so .500 Special is right on par with .44 magnum. .45 Colt +P is almost exactly the same as .44 Magnum, and you can get 360-grain loads that go 1100+ fps. Regular .45 Colt is the same as .45 ACP and will only throw 230 grains at under 1100 fps. The problem is that those bullets were clearly made to expand at supersonic velocities like you get from .50 AE and .500 Magnum, so the .500 Special just couldn't make them pop. Bad design on the manufacturer's part, but I doubt there are any .50 bullets made for such low velocities on the market.

I just bought a 44mag and have a whole new appreciation for Scott's ability to nonchalantly shoot a 500swmag

This video was very funny Scott, Bravo 👏🏾 😅😂

The 500 mag is so much more powerful that I’d still not want to be hit with a 500 spl

"it's a nice gun I'll give you that, but the engravings give no tactical advantages whatsoever..." Beautiful S&W man. I wish I could get my hands on one.
