      It's one of the most versatile rounds, there's rounds that are more manageable than others that don't seem like extreme overkill for certain applications, but some pack enough punch to take down a bull, they're no joke. 45 ACP is still going to be best for use against humans overall for most people but definitely isn't nearly enough for other applications.

      It depends on the bullet. LOTS of bullets expand at subsonic speeds, but these were clearly not designed for that. Since most .50 bullets are intended for .50 AE and .500 Magnum, which throw 350-grainers at 1300+ and 1800+ fps respectively, using these bullets in the subsonic Special was either lazy or stupid on the ammo maker's part.

    If you're using bullets designed for the 500 magnum in the 500 special loading that's probably why you're seeing so little energy transfer. Those bullets are designed to expand at 1,500 fps, not 1,000 fps. Same sort of thing happens with 10mm auto, most loadings use bullets designed for the much more popular .40 s&w, and the extra speed causes much less controlled expansion. Anyway since the .500 special is so uncommon I'm betting that they just used a bullet designed with .500 magnum velocities in mind.

That 500 Magnum delivered so much energy into that target that it chunked it 20 feet away, while the 500 Special just poked a hole in the other target. Such an awesome video Mr. Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. You never cease to entertain us with new content. Keep it up!

      I suspect that the reason for this huge difference between the .500 Special and the .500 Magnum is the fact that the .500 Special is an FMJ and the .500 Magnum is a JHP.

    My ex father in law had a S&W .500 MAG with the 3" barrel. We loaded many dif rounds for it. We've shot it each well over 1k rounds. We LOVED it ! We were shooting pretty accurate at 70 yards once used to the recoil without the anticipation of its power. Our buddies would always back out from shooting.
    Limitless America in Washugal, WA has the exact same gun. Used for $1149. I've been looking for every excuse not to get it but after watching this then, I'm getting up early to go get it tomorrow!
    Our loads where Star line brass, cci large rifle primers, hot loads where 54.2 grain or 52.4 grain of Unique or Hodge 110 powder and light loads where 46.2 to 48 grain powder. Bullets where always Hornady XTP 350 grain.

      @Bacteriophagebs ปีที่แล้ว

      I initially assumed that .500 Special would be equivalent to .454 Casull. Nope. .454 will launch a 360-grain bullet at 1400-1500 fps, halfway between the .500 special and .500 magnum with 350-grainers. .50 AE does 350 grains at 1300-1400 fps. Standard-pressure .44 magnum fires a 355-grain bullet at 950-1050 fps, so .500 Special is right on par with .44 magnum.
      The problem is that those bullets were clearly made to expand at supersonic velocities like you get from .50 AE and .500 Magnum, so the .500 Special just couldn't make them pop. Bad design on the manufacturer's part.

    I think the difference on the food service sized cans was primarily due to the fact that the can was strong enough to withstand the hydrostatic shock of the .500 special. If you had used smaller, thinner cans, like soda cans, or 2 liter soda bottles, you'd definitely see a nice big splatter from both rounds. But yea, those cans are designed to be stacked in pallets and shipped stacked in the back of a box truck, they can handle a lot of fucking pressure in both compression and expansion, and the corrugated sides and lids only help to reinforce that further.
    Now, that said, the .500 mag is still a much more powerful cartridge for sure. what is that like 30-40% more powder capacity in the magnum, vs the special?

    The .500 Special is basically a fatter Colt .45, about same muzzle velocity but with a projectile that's ~50gr heavier. I've always liked it, it won't blow out your ears on the range, and for target shooting up to 20 yards you really can't tell a difference in accuracy, except there's >50% less recoil and you can get away with using regular safety muffs w/o plugs.

    • @Bacteriophagebs
      @Bacteriophagebs ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Standard-pressure .44 magnum fires a 355-grain bullet at 950-1050 fps, so .500 Special is right on par with .44 magnum. .45 Colt +P is almost exactly the same as .44 Magnum, and you can get 360-grain loads that go 1100+ fps. Regular .45 Colt is the same as .45 ACP and will only throw 230 grains at under 1100 fps.
      The problem is that those bullets were clearly made to expand at supersonic velocities like you get from .50 AE and .500 Magnum, so the .500 Special just couldn't make them pop.
