Figured I would give everyone some eye candy. Check out these 420 grain 50 cal hollow points.

That's not a hollow point. That's a lead pipe with a gas check over one end. 
Or go hither and thither and not be accurate for more than 10 feet or so... LOLSuper Sneaky Steve

You gotta make a video of you shooting that into some gel.
ICH, what mold is it?
I also am interested in seeing what that could do. That MP mold for the 700 grainers works fine and is accurate,BUT it is painful to shoot, AND I bet it will shoot the big Smith loose eventually.
I have yet to try to see if they expand without shearing the nose right off the base. The main problem would be stopping one. AND recovering it!
I DO have the bullet-test-tubes, but I doubt even 3 of the rifle tubes would stop a 650 grain HP,(that's about what the big round HP weighs) .

I bet it would shake that Smith apart, Snuffy. I bet it would...
I was about this close ----->||<----- to buying an H&R Handi-Rifle in .500 S&W last year. Then, I started digging a little deeper, and found that a lot of owners were actually shaking action pins lose and beating the barrel lugs to death with 575-750 gr bullets. And, even the shooters sticking with 350-500 gr bullets were having enough issues to make me abandon that idea.
I went with .444 Marlin, instead.
And, what did I do? I promptly designed a 430 gr bullet, with the goal of pushing it to 4,000 ft-lb (2,047 fps) and 5,000 ft-lb (2,289 fps) load levels in a 6.5 lb rifle. Idiot....
(The rifle hasn't made it past the 3,650 ft-lb level yet, though (~1,950 fps). The scope keeps shaking loose under recoil. ...which is rather, um... brutal.)
