    I have two 460s and one 500 and I shoot the heaviest bullets I can find. The lighter bullets tend to feel like a firecracker going off in the palm of my hand. The heavier slugs seem to generate more of a push or shove. I've had others try different weight rounds through my cannons and all agree that the heavier slugs are more fun to shoot.

    Get some of those heavyweight slugs and give them a try. I think you'll like them.

    I have a S&W 500. I want to reload but want to buy premium bullets for reloading. There are some that are just plated and wonder if they will do .
    Need to get dies, if someone has a set that are willing to part with, let me know price and location. Also still need the bullets too.

    Whip me! Beat me! Thank you, sir. May I have another? :)
