It was raining this morning so could not get on the range for an actual zero shoot with the H&R 500 S&W.
Finally got out long enough to do a basic function test and see how stiff recoil will be.
Being that the H&R is a closed chamber verses a revolvers open chamber, muzzle velocities will change. No lost gases...increased pressures... etc...
So....I loaded up some 300 Grain Hornady FTX ontop of 42 grains of H110 using a Fed210M Primer...
Two rounds fired from the offhand position into a berm 50 yards downrange.
Both rounds hit within 6 inches of aimpoint. Remember, the rifle has not been zero'd yet.
Recoil..... about like 12 Guage 00 Buck out of a pump gun. Certainly less them a 300WinMag.
Hornady shows 42 grains of H110 using a 325 Bullet should produce approximately 1831 FPS MV out of a pistol. Can't wait till I can get it zero'd and chrono'd.
I'd like to see what the Barnes 275's will do...but 20 of them costs as much as 50 of the FYX's... I'll stick with these for now....
Will try to get it zero'd and a target posted as soon as I can.
