About two weeks ago I bought this Ruger .357 Maximum. It will ultimately be the foundation for a .500 Maximum build (Jack Huntington will be performing the conversion), but I will play with it a bit before it gets sacrificed to the big-bore gods. I plan to do some serious load development (with bfrshooter) and then I intend to blood it prior to shipping it off........

WhitworthThe max is a Nancy-boy compared to the .50 Alaskan...... 525s at 1,350 should feel like a walk in the park. So, Freddy, are you ready to shoot the Alaskan??????

WhitworthWe'll see if you're ready! Most people just shrivel up and wilt away when they handle the gun and then see the ammunition it shoots!
