FA .500 WE...

...even with no brass available, apparently they are still making them... Has the extra .50 AE cylinder... Can that cylinder be rechambered to .500 JRH or does that take a .454 or .475 cylinder?

Cannot be rechambered. Larger around than the 500 JRH...

That is what I thought I had read here before...thank you.

For what it’s worth, so far my 50ae when using bullets at 350gr and lighter gets within 50-75fps of my 500jrh. So if you were thinking of lower 48 use, I’d say go with it…..Ex. 350 Speer from 50ae-1425fps, same bullet 500jrh 1480fps.

"350 Speer from 50ae-1425fps, same bullet 500jrh 1480fps"..that hurts my wrist just to think about...

I'm really happy with 380-400s at 1050...
