Thread: My new toy: a .500 S&W

So the other day I spied this TC in .500 S&W on trademe. I'd been reading @rossi.45 's thread with interest and was keen to have a go with a big bore subsonic bush rifle. It has a 15 inch barrel and comes with brass, dies, projectiles and bullet moulds

The plan is to have a heavy subsonic load for general use (possibly 700gr if I can cope with the recoil) and a lighter supersonic load for if is see something a little further away.

I am completely new to casting bullets and subsonic reloading, so will be greatful for any advice.

Questions:

What scope should I put on it? ( I had been thinking about @gimp 's VX6 1-6 but I was too slow and wanted some advice first).

What suppressor should I put on it? ie who makes the best one for subs?

I talked to gunworks and they could/would make a custom one.

I talked to @DPT they don't make them that big and didn't seem keen to do anything custom.
