Hello

Anyone know about the .500 Al Sharqi, it looks like a 600/500, that is to say a 600 necked down to .500.
Was it developed for a double or single.
It is rimmed.

Any info would be great.

Development stories, Balistics, data.

Thanks

Have no idea about it, but you might wish to know that Al Sharqi means the oriental, or eastern in Arabic.

Thanks Saeed

Isn't Al Sharqi the family name of the Emir of Fujairah in UAE?

A very interesting cartridge,being a Dr guy?I would love to know what this caliber could do in a Dr? I think it would be maybe very efficient?

Any way that we could get case dimensions?& someone could put it through quickload?

I found it on an auction site in EU, I collect British DR cartridges, but this is a modern cartridge.
Not sure i want to drop 30 euros on a curiosity.
The 577/500, 600/500 and 600/577 would probably be very similar.

From the auction.

A really very rare cartridge,
Small cartridge for a royal house in the Arab Emirates.
The cartridge is based on a .577-500 Hartmann and Weiss.
An absolute unique and probably never again to get.
Loaded with Degol Lion Jacket
