Just watched it. That's one big bull! Enjoyed the show and would like to see you discuss the 500JRH BFR, MaxP. I look forward to the next episodes.

Who makes Punch Bullets now as I can find nothing on the Belt Mountain web page?
Watching episode 1 as I type this.
It's making me want to grab a revolver and head to the woods.
This old Soldier thanks you Marine!!!!!Rintoul Enterprises - the manufacturer of Cast Performance bullets and Grizzly Cartridge.
Which JRH load do you use for defense? I saw the .454 casull vid where you shot if fairly quickly.Thank you!
It's likely my favorite revolver in my collection. If there is a revolver that I own that I am "one" with, this is it. The load (used in the show) consists of a 420 grain Punch bullet over a stiff charge of 296 that gives me right around 1,400 fps at the muzzle. Even at that velocity I was able to get around seven feet of penetration on the first (chest) shot that traveled all the way through the rumen. My PH was impressed with the penetration and the general havoc it heaped upon the buffalo. I tested that same load on an even larger water buffalo the year before, with similar results. The revolver has a 5 1/2-inch barrel and I've equipped it with an Ultradot Four. I had originally intended to throw on a lighter Ultradot 30, but decided that since it works so well, it should remain. Other than that, it's an unmodified Precision Center BFR. It's also very accurate.

That's alot of power for home defense.I used that same load at the Bovine Bash last year for backup in my other BFR in .500 JRH with iron sights (also a 5 1/2-inch barrel). Now I use Buffalo Bore’s DG load which throws a 400 grain LeHigh flat-nosed solid at about 1,400 fps.
That's alot of power for home defense.
You didn’t specify the type of defense! No, I don’t use the .500 JRH for home defense! LOL!
Out of curiosity, what DO you use for home defense?
Just watched both episodes. Nice buff Max! The plains game proves to be a real challenge for handgunners. Such wary animals. Do you still see Impala in your sleep? LOL
We just watched both episodes today, loved them and looking forward to more! The missus was impressed and whilst we've been angling towards some handgun hunts anyway, you've finally won her over completely and I thank you! I don't want to derail the thread, but I have some questions......Hahaha! No, but had I had some more time I might have connected!

Keeping in mind that I personally run a .41 Blackhawk at the moment:
I saw another show where a hunter took (I believe) a buffalo with a semi auto 10mm, how do you personally feel about the 10mm (revolver or semiautomatic) as a hunting round in North America?
At least 2 friends of mine are looking at the .500 s&w or 50 ae or even the .429 de, what would you say about them compared to the jrh for hunting? (Also I believe that the Wyoming action express is on the table)
Is round count an issue very often? For local game, I have NEVER fired more than one round per target when a hit is scored, but on the table are hogs and black bear, does the 6vs8vs15 come into play? And if so, 6 10mm vs 8 .357 vs 15 10mm? With my Blackhawk and plain 210 rem factory loads I can deal an inch at 25 yds, should optics be on the table and does that play into platform choice? (The missus is just under fist sized at 25 yds with the latest 5.5 inch 73 clone) we're shooting standing unsupported here if that matters.....
Eta if this is too much of a derailment, I can start a new thread or am open to p.m. and I apologize if it is.

I am no longer young enough or healthy enough to try this but I am sure impressed Max. I have shot Minnesota Whitetails with my 44 Mag Smiths at various ranges so I understand some of what you are doing. Congratulations to you. Speaking of specialty handguns, My Super Sixteen .223 Contender has been very warm in the Dakota dog fields.
