The .500 Barnes X
I talked with the guy from Barnes the other day and he said the 275 gr. X bullet was to long to be loaded for use in the DE. He said there would be feeding problems. I was just wondering if anyone...

Ohio - thanks for the insight. I was afraid that the barnes wouldn't work - oh well still some other good bullets out there.

I know a guy that loads 500 Barnes X 275's for his DE said they work great and it is his favorite load.I'll have to talk to him and get some info,

I have loaded the Barnes X 275 also with no problem, thats all BS about it not working.Zero

How did you load them? I have some and they are WAY to long for the 50 AE."A strong body makes a strong mind. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to...

If you are loading for a freedom arms 555 or BFR, then OAL is not an issue. But in the DE, the bullet must maintain .500 dia. all the way up except the last 1/4" or so. Would be like trying to load a...

Alright Let me put an end to this question with a scan from the BARNES RELOADING MANUAL #3Which list the BARNES 275gr .50 Cal for the 50AE, my guess is that it might be ok as it one of the 3 handgun...

Thank you, Dr64!!! I have that same manual, (I have almost everybodys) and I really like it. I never even thought to look in there. I have always just stuck with my tried and true reincarnations of...

Damn that's fast, but the OAL is too long to work in the DE."A strong body makes a strong mind. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it...

The guy from Barnes told me it was for revolvers (like freedom arms) chambered in 50 AE - but some of you have had them work - I went to my local gun shop to pick some up today and they were out, but...

I have to say don't waste your money, they don't work in the DE. I swear, I have been reloading for many years, they won't work. They are almost .2" too long."A strong body makes a strong mind. As to...

ob........unless you've got a 50AE in a revolver or the S&W 500, you're not gonna be happy. I'll stick to my original post about the matter. I'd go back and read EVERYONES post before deciding....

Ok. Here's a pic. If you push the 275 far enough down into the case to fit the magazine, you will have a gap between the case mouth and the ogive. Besides, why would you want to give up 1/4" of case...

Also, I would have to venture to say that the top load listed there is too hot. Putting that bullet out at 1800 FPS develops 1979 FPE. I just about gaurantee that is over SAAMI max pressure, not to...
View ArticleRe: The .500 Barnes X
I wouldn't be too concerned with giving up cartridge space, or the "normal" working pressure, since those can be regulated with the proper powder and charge weight. But this is not a "normal" bullet....

Phantom..........no can do. It would create even more problems. The case has to head space on the mouth. OK....I tried to answer this earlier at work but they won't leave me alone when I'm in the...
