Neat, I was just thinking about that the other day wondering why none of the 50cals replicated the 500NE ballistics of 570gr @ 2150 fps without bumping it up a notch or two like many do with 2300 fps+.View attachment 640108
This was a fun thread to read through.
The .495 A-Square seems to me better than the rest for .510’s. Not as much capacity but easily matches a .500 nitro and shouldn’t have any feeding issues. Shame it didn’t take off.
This guys ruler has 3” twice lol.
Few steps back tsken with that one! Load?
Yep, I have taken a few with it.That 500 MDM .. if I'm saying that right is quite the machine...
I just purely love this forum: shooting and hunting and Africa with glorious old warbirds thrown in for free!Dan,
The P-38, P-40, and early P-51's ran the Allison V12 - 1710. There were different model variants, the most notable was in the -38, one engine rotated clockwise - the other counter-clockwise. On the 38 the exhaust was ducted through the turbo which contributed to its' unique sound.
The P-38 is a beautiful ship. idk where the obsession came from the sound .. of the Allison V12? it's distinct.I just purely love this forum: shooting and hunting and Africa with glorious old warbirds thrown in for free!
Your PH would be correct......My PH would tell you the 500 Jeff, I’d tell you I have no idea lol I stop at the 458WM!
It’s like asking what is the most dangerous of the big 5? The answer to your question is the rifle you can always place your first shot in the kill zone and the answer to the second question is the one wounded you cannot see!!!That 500 MDM .. if I'm saying that right is quite the machine...
Indeed .. this MDM, I was simply unaware of. prompt further research for mere curiosity.It’s like asking what is the most dangerous of the big 5?

Wow! That thing looks like a dinosaur.View attachment 640013View attachment 640014Great cartridge that MDM. The only animal thus far taken with it. 450 gr CEB at 2300 fps. I carry it in WY around grizzly country. New stock in the rifle pic
