Yeah…… recoil only affects follow up shots accuracy, if recoil affected general firing, guns would be very close to useless.

[@chopsddy3]

Scott, since you are the foremost expert on determining the level of Kentucky certified destruction provided by various things that go bang.(among other things) , I have a request. I just bought one of those “popcorn cannons” used to puff corn and rice. It goes bang and launches its contents with a prodigious amount of steam when used to puff grain. I got to thinking about the possibility of mounting it on a rifle stock and using it for home defense. Your unique input would be appreciated.

[@Paladin1873]

In 1978 Guns & Ammo ran a story on a massive revolver built by Bruce Woods. He used a shortened 460 Weatherby Magnum case and called it the .457 Super Magnum. If memory serves me correctly, he was getting rifle level performance out of this hand cannon. I think the revolver itself was called the Woods White Horse Magnum. He also made one in 45-70. I may still have the magazine in my collection.

[@Parents_of_Twins]

Why? I can stand some recoil but I don't understand why people like punishing themselves. Maybe it's because I started out hunting with a muzzleloader but I'm a fan of placement over insane power. I'd rather have a gun in which I can accurately place a shot every time versus something that has ridiculous power. More middle of the line something like a 6.5-300 vs a 416. Plenty of power and easier to shoot. Like McManus talked about in his books I don't need a gun that will allow me to clap my shoulders. BTW if you haven't read those do yourself a favor and pick them up, they are hilarious. Laughed so hard reading on in a doctors office once that everyone moved to the other side of the waiting area from me. Still makes me chuckle today and that was 30 years ago.

[@Paladin1873]

@@JoshuaFare I suggest a Google search. As far as I know it was a one-off, though he did offer various caliber options in his custom handguns. Mind you, this was well over 40 years ago.

[@Paladin1873]

@@Parents_of_Twins I believe this channel exists for entertainment purposes (and to make money for its creator). I treat it the way I treated Capstick's books on Africa. It is not to be taken too seriously. Given the price of ammunition these days, I rarely shoot anything remotely exotic. I do prefer heavy-for-caliber projectiles, but not punishing recoil. I don't shoot creatures that are a half mile or further away. Bullet placement and penetration are and will always remain king and queen.

hey scott, if it makes you feel any safer, the 500 bushwacker is based on the .375 ruger, which itself is capable of handling 62k psi, meanwhile 500SW does around 60k, and usually speaking whenever you taper/neck down a cartridge you increase the pressure when compared to a straight wall, so the 500 BW might have a chamber pressure equal if not even lower than those 62k as a side note, that cartridge is absoletly ridiculous, i'm so happy you brought it on the channel😂

[@koreyhayden1368]

375 ruger??? I'd hafta research that but, right off the bat that doesn't seem right at all. 375 ruger is is a bigger parent case and is necked. This bushwacker is a straight wall, and 50 cal. More along the lines of a 458 Lott as parent case

[@renaissanceman5847]

the brass case is not the problem... its the chamber that supports it that is.

[@Bacteriophagebs]

TII does say it retains the operating pressure of the .500 S&W, which as you said is 60,000 psi (though most factory loads stay at or below 50,000).

[@henriquedominguesjocas599]

@@koreyhayden1368 yeah... idk, there's not much information out there, but the 375 has the exact same size up to the neck, and 500 BW brass could be made by fire-forming it, in fact prior to having dedicated brass for it, the cartridges were made like that

@@renaissanceman5847 i know, but usually speaking, the firearm will be designed to operate at the pressure of the cartridge safely, that's why it's often not recomended to use very hot pistol ammo in handguns not designed for it, and the reason you shouldn't use 357 mag in 38 special, but you can shoot 38 in a 357 for instance, even though almost every pistol nowadays can handle at least +P

Another idea I had is using something as a probe. When they are trying to see if a bullet went all the way through a ballistic dummy, they could just poke a stick or something into the hole and see where it comes out the back of the target.

Since the case is simply a lengthened version of the .500 S&W Magnum, the cylinder wall thickness remains the same on a firearm converted to the larger cartridge. Accordingly, the same pressure level can safely be maintained in firearms capable of accommodating the additional cartridge length."

@@danwhite3224 Not because of the gap, no. If the gun's going to explode, it will do it before the bullet has gotten far enough to cross the gap. The gun that nearly killed Scott was that dangerous because it was a single-shot, screw-on-breech gun, so when it failed, there was nothing to stop the breech from going straight back into the shooter. Very few guns are that dangerous to the shooter when they fail. A revolver _does_ have a shield behind the cylinder for just that purpose, and since the round at the top of the cylinder would be the one that failed, the rest of the cylinder would mostly protect the shooter's hand. But the topstrap of the revolver could still blow backward into the shooter's head and eyes. If you look up images of revolvers that exploded, typically the cylinder is opened up at the top and the topstrap is gone.

[@darrylpioch2055]

I saw a video from the people that developed the cartridge and I believe they said the same thing. They just used a slower burning powder to take advantage of every last inch of the barrel and get that velocity. 2500fps coming out of a 50 caliber handgun is genuinely ridiculous lol

[@danwhite3224]

@@Bacteriophagebs Ah fair enough, thanks for the explanation.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

One thing that people may not consider, is just because the cartridge is longer doesn't mean the pressure goes up exponentially. In fact, without changing anything about the .500 S&W Magnum load, simply adding more volume to the case will LOWER the operating pressure. The idea was to lengthen the casing to provide a lot more room for propellant, allowing a lot more bullet acceleration (in a given length barrel). Does that mean the pressure also goes up? Not necessarily. TI2 did their R&D pretty well. I've read that it is actually quite efficient and burns most of the propellant in the casing length, barrel length, and so on. Pressure testing facts would be pretty awesome. Yet, a longer casing doesn't imply the pressure is a single pound higher than the .500 S&W case. Should be obvious without the right kind of powder and load recipe, you can turn an ordinary case into a small charge of firearms breaker (as per many of his videos demonstrating exactly this).

I can't ever remember seeing the ejector move under recoil like that. Scott is lucky to have survived.

[@henryturnerjr3857]

I was thinking the Revolver may last a while. But that ejector rod won't!!

[@discombubulate2256]

yeah, that's getting sketchy.

[@JunkyardBashSteve]

I don't think it's recoil causing the ejector rod to move backward. Inertia would keep it in place as the whole gun moves back. I think it's the gas or pressure wave coming off the muzzle brake.

[@Idiotdragon8]

I’m less scared of the gun that the spiked ball and chain. The gun is sketchy but he has nearly hit himself on the backswing with the ball and chain so many times

[@udriveghettoyo13]

I love how the case extractor slams back to the cylinder from all the energy leaving the muzzle. That's just incredible!

[@vaben5]

I've got to say I'm impressed with your left handed, unsupported accuracy with a high recoil heavy revolver. If you actually nailed those small targets first take every time I'm very impressed.

[@insomniacryan9916]

I'm reminded just how great the .500 S&W is as a lever gun round. The Bushwacker clearly has a bright future in that application, too.

[@Stuie444]

@5:06 anyone else notice the push rod self-cycling when fired? I'd be worried about damaging any bullets loaded into that chamber - but I guess that wouldn't cause a major failure. Awesome piece of kit!

[@aaronmcintosh2903]

Yup, I did see that on a couple of shots

[@MrMinuteman]

As a Potterhead, everything here adds up, the scar burning when touching something related to the tragic event, the scar, the constant battles with T-REX… I now give myself the title “Scotterhead”

[@1014p]

So 350 grain hollow point at 2000 fps translates to immediate energy dumping on contact. Good to know if you're trying to stop something from space. Now I would like to see hollow points side by side from all the big bore guns and rifles. I noticed most were brass solids or other solid rounds. Do the jello water though. Might need crowd funding to get enough jugs and the round for each one. Maybe take the shots at 25 yards for a visual view purpose.

[@rohas1967]

Hey Scott…..thanks for the demo…..wow, what a handful !! I have a S&W.460 but would definitely love to have that hardware !! From what I have read, the cartridge is basically a lengthened .500 S&W with the same casing thickness, so they designed the Bushwacker revolver with the same wall thickness to handle the same 60,000 psi. Love your videos !! ….keep em coming.

[@DIRTYHARRYBALLISTICS]

The. 460 is what i upgraded from. I got mine in 14". Its a monster, and i love it. Lol

[@spyersecol0013]

Ok you need to hear me out on this one! After shooting the glue you need to finish the arts and crafts segment by shooting bottles of that most hated of craft items... GLITTER!

[@iHatePolitics]

The thing about glitter though is it is just tiny bits of plastic. I wouldn't like that stuff in the environment.

[@jungblud59]

Glad to see you got a 500BW! That cartridge runs 60,000 psi same as the 500 S&W mag. The parent cartridge is the 375 Ruger, which runs at 62,000 psi, so you know the brass can take the pressure. Truly a beast! It's just under a 458 win mag in power, but I'm sure you felt that by now. Another great video Scott!

Yeah we are worrying about the brass and not the chamber... smh

RIP another chronograph. Someone needs to come up with an armored casing for these things... On a side note htough, when he's shooting the sweet peas you can see how the recoil is pushing the ejection rod down. Really cool!

[@MichaelScheele]

Scott, do you have a chronograph sponsor like you have a table sponsor? I looked up some external ballistics for the .500 Bushwacker, it has the kinetic energy of a .458 Winchester Magnum out of a 26" rifle barrel. To get that performance out of a 10" revolver is crazy. The .458 Winchester Magnum has a maximum pressure (SAAMI) of 60,000 PSI. The parent cartridge of the .500 Bushwacker is the .375 Ruger, which has a maximum pressure (SAAMI) of 62,000 PSI. The .500 Bushwacker case is slightly shorter than that of the .375 Ruger, so its case capacity should be pretty much the same as that of a .458 Winchester Magnum. I would guess that would mean the .500 Bushwacker is operating above 62,000 PSI. Not being an expert on interior ballistics, I wouldn't hazard to guess by how much. I think your neck scar is right to twitch a bit.

[@Mike_858]

Man, they need to chamber a lever gun in .500 Bushwacker, imagine the power gain from a long rifle barrel.

[@jasonfowler210]

They chambered it in a TC Encore single shot rifle. With the 22" barrel it was getting around 3000 fps with 350gr bullets.
