Where did you find the stats for the S&W .50 Mag?

The Corbon website. Try the link in # 107.

BTW, the .50 mag 400 grain JSP ammo costs $34.95 + shipping for 20 rounds. Including shipping cost, that's over $2 a round. If I had a gun chambered for this round I wouldn't be shooting it much until .50 mag reloading dies go on the market. Then I still wouldn't be shooting it much because my hands and arms would be terminally sore after the 1st 20 shots.

But seriously, with a little judicious experimentation one could devise some nice mild lead bullet handloads that would make the gun into a pussycat for casual recreational shooting. (otherwise known as plinking) Yeah, I know, you can plink with a .22, but I think it would be kinda fun to make .50 caliber holes in Coke cans.

I found the link, thanks.

That is what I was thinking; big hole in, HUGE hole out!

But you are right -- reloading will be the only way this poor man can afford to shoot that puppy.

But not in a pistol. I'll wait 'til Marlin produces a lever action carbine chambered for that bad boy!

With a detachable 10 round box magazine? LOL!
