I gotta disagree Whit. Feels like a 475 or 500 Linebaugh to me. Then again, I don't find 500 S&W in a BFR to be overly harsh. -Lee www.singleactions.com

I agree on the long-frame BFR. But the 500 JRH didn't seem any worse than top-end 420's out of my 475 BFR. -Lee www.singleactions.com

Got brass - forgot to put the load data in the box! DOH! I wish that mirror I broke/ladder I walked under/cat that crossed my path a few years ago would go away....

Actually, I shoot 27.0 of H110 under a 410 WFN in my 475 BFR. That's probably why they feel the same. -Lee www.singleactions.com

I got my loads mixed-up (ie, the edit on above post). 29.0 of H110 is what I shoot with a 435 WFN in 500 Linebaugh. My 475 load is 27.0 of H110 with a 410 WFN Cast Performance. Sorry for the confusion. -Lee www.singleactions.com

Ya'll are going to make me regret dropping a few dimes on the 329 rather than getting a JRH. There was one in stock when I ordered the other day(cheaper too)

"rather" can be taken as a bad word. Kind of like the ones Mama washed your mouth out with soap for saying... Try using "and" instead. Takes a little longer to pay the bills but you get away from wondering "What if"

If I get down to MS, we can see which one kicks harder - the 329 or BFR500JRH. I'm just guessing here that the 329 will be a pussycat after the JRH with a full case of H110 under an ounce of lead...

Well, 27ish grains of H110 will fit under my 300gr Mihec loaded long..... But that is for Redhawks only. Might give the 500 a run since this 329 feels like a cap gun. I will see where it stands at 22gr, but will limit the Smith to somewhere around 24gr max for hunting and hopefully use the 22gr load for a general woods bumming load.

Just sent an email to Magnum research to inquire about a 500 JRH. Asked if the cylinder could be fluted though I assume with a hefty round like that you can't flute the cylinder as it needs all the beef it can get to handle the pressure generated by the 500. Any thoughts on a fluted 500 JRH?
