not my cup of tea but they tout a 420gr WFNGC hitting 2,400 fps from a 10.5” BFR conversion, spicy! youtu.be/3xpA_9nXZMA |

Why not! Seems totally impractical - that alone is good reason. Worse comes to worse, the 350 Hornady at what? 2700-2800. Should make an interesting Prairie dog load  |

They should send this revolver to Whitworth along with a pallet full of ammo so he can put it through some testing🧨🧨

I really enjoyed the video. It was spot on regarding handguns of this size, minus all the hype. I looked at TII Armory's site and the conversions are reasonably priced. In fact, so are the dies and brass. And I must admit, while I normally don't use brakes, a conversion like this is the exception. I chose not to put one on the .50 Alaskan BFR we converted. 525's at 1,650 fps and 585's just over 1,500 fps are my limit. Anything more and the end of the barrel would get threaded. I haven't leaned on the Alaskan any more, keeping pressure around 40,000 PSI (software estimated). The smaller diameter S&W case affords more pressure ceiling, hence the .500 Bushwhacker's big numbers. I think the Alaskan can get close, but not quite touch those figures. So in short, this wildcat enters new territory. I'm impressed. My .50 Alaskan with a Jack Huntington grip frame. Similar to the new BFR 'Bisley', it does a lot to help control recoil.  -Lee www.singleactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time" |

It would cost somebody 100 bucks to get me to shoot the full house 500 SnW. Let alone that thing.
That is in the ball park of a .458 Win Mag. From a revolver ? Nutz !!If I had to shoot that thing to save my self from a Bear, I might choose the bear ! 44 Mag is enough I would certainly choose a root canal over shooting that ! Might be cheaper too !!...tj

Hey, I know those guys! 😉 Really enjoyed your articles, very well thought out and purposeful. I know this might be a silly question for a “stopping piece” but would love to see some accuracy and pressure figures (probably more of a test for the shooter 😀) Nice work! |

It is nice to see the limits pushed. I'm happy at upper end 480 loads thru a 50 oz. revolver.
