Depends on how hard you swing the rifle.

That's funny right there. I don't care who you are. If you don't think that's funny you need to git on outta here.

If bullet weights are equal then I doubt whatever gets hit with either one would have to be run down for a finishing round.

500 N.E. Ruger #1

Better yet, make it 577, and wear a mouthpiece (grins)

Rolly; damnfunny!

think they make 700 gr for the 500

The .500 will eventually shoot loose. The .45-70 is a much better choice, and most .45-70 Handis will shoot 1" or better groups at 100 yards. The .500s are not as accurate.

500 too much stress on the handi?
