Huntington 500 Max

Well my 500 Max came home. Thought I would share some pics.

Looks like a lot of gun there.... Those things will be rare beasts in the years to come...

Congrats . How long is the barrel and is that blasted stainless or mat chrome?

[17tombstone]

7 1/2" barrel and the gun is hard chromed.

Looks good. Now that we both have hard chromed .500 maximums, we can start a club!

S&W DX-style front sight attachment?

38 grains AA1680 runs a mt baldy 515 out of mine at 1388 fps.

[17tombstone]

Correct on the front sight. I loaded 38.0 AA1680 before I read the post. Starting out a little wimpy as it is under a 460 Keith Gas Check.

That's a fabulous looking revolver. Just beautiful. I'd probably have to add a Bowen Target rear sight, but that's just me, and not a criticism.
Now, I'm no stranger to big bores nor to recoil, but a 515 @ 1388 has got to be...exhilarating. Much more exhilaration than I believe I can stand any more. But what the heck: Now you're ready for anything!

IT DOES LOOK GREAT.....CLEAN AND SIMPLE.....AND ANOTHER HARD CHROME....
ENJOY.... ;D

The only flaw I can find in that revolver is that it isn't mine. Who did the hard chrome?

[17tombstone]

Not sure who Jack uses for the hardchrome maybe Aggie knows. Shot 10 rounds through it today with 460gr SWC. 5th bullet in the cylinder jumped crimp on me..guess I am going to have to crimp a bit more. Recoil was impressive. The picture I posted with the 2 cases the small one is a 454 casull for comparison.
