i have been looking at some 50 cal 500 jefferys....505 gibbs.....500 asquare rifles over the last couple of days and i descovered that barns dosnt list any solids in these calibers any more.....

where can i find monolithic solids for these bad boys now????

i am very interested in making a 500 asqaure rifle and wish to shoot the 600 grain monolithic solid.

700 Nitro

Both GS custom and Rhino makes solids in this calibre.

In addition to GS Custom and Rhino, the following other mfrs make .50 cal bullets:



A-Square 600 grain - http://www.midwayusa.com/rewriteaproduct/178327



Woodleigh 600 grain FMJ RN - http://www.midwayusa.com/rewriteaproduct/978244



Plus Barnes and TCCI make 570 grain bullets.

Or you could make your own bullets on a lathe.

A-Square advertises 600 grain monolithic solids in .510" diameter. They are quite expensive, though. A-Square also advertises loaded ammunition in .500 A2.

Of course, Woodleigh makes solids in this caliber in a few weights, including 570 and 600 grains. They are not monolithics, but Woodleigh solids are damned good.

I have used their 500 grain solids in .458" diameter and they have always performed perfectly. So, I have stocked up on some of their 600 grain solids for use in my .500 A2 when Ed at AHR finally finishes it.

I also have some 600 grain Woodleigh Protected Point bonded core soft points that I will try as well.

Finally, I have a box of the Barnes 570 grain XLC coated X-Bullets. They are undersized, at .509" diameter, but I want to see how they will shoot in my .500 A2 anyway. I like the X-Bullets performance on game and these are monsters.

Good luck!
