Who here has one of these bad boys? I’ve been thinking about getting one and wanted to hear from those who own one. How do they shoot? I’m looking at getting the 5.5” barreled bfr for backwoods protection in bear country and for hunting. Would love to hear your thoughts and conclusions on this pistol

This is one of my favorite revolver configurations ever. I have two of them right now with a 5 1/2-inch barrel. The power to weight ratio of this revolver is significant. I've killed some really big animals with mine and they've never left me feeling I needed something more. This Cape buffalo fell to one of my BFR .500 JRHs last year. It's a lethal caliber when loaded correctly.
Very nice. Where do you get your brass at? Do you cut down 500 s&w to 1.4” and call it good?
You can cut .500 Smith brass to 1.4-inches and call it good. The BFR is cut (counter-bored) to handle the larger rim of the .500 Smith. I use Starline .500 JRH brass. Got my first .500 JRH eight or nine years ago and have always had Starline brass.
I also have 2 in 500 JRH one us built on a FA83 with a 5 1/2" barrel and the other usxa BFR with a 5" barrel. I Shiva mature bull elk through the rib cage with a 440 grain flat point gard cast @ about 1000 FPS that blew a 3 to 4 inch exit. The terminal perform is outstanding

Mine's a Ruger but IMHO, the .500JRH has really superseded the .475 in terminal performance. To me it just makes more sense than either Linebaugh cartridge. It costs more but I got properly headstamped brass from Buffalo Bore.
Good accuracy right there. Where can I find hogue mono grips for the BFR 500jrh? Ask when loading the 500 s&w cases do you all use wlp primers or large rifle?

My favorite too. Accuracy is crazy. I shot this at 100 yards.
Are they hard to clean and how do they taste?
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience

Get it with their Bisley grip frame, it's much better.
