Hi,
New to this forum. Got my Shooting Times magazine yesterday and it had article about the Taurus 500 S&W mag revolver. In the pics they showed a "500 Special" which was shorter than the mag but they didn't mention the special in the article. I was not aware that a 500 Special even existed. Anyone have any info on the 500 Special??
Thanks,

The 500 special case is almost 1/2 inch shorter than the 500 mag.
Out of curiosity, I Googled 500 spl and all I could find was that the cartridge was introduced to creat a less recoil cartridge to shoot thru 500 mag revolvers. I searched at length for ammo, brass, or anything of info on this cartridge and was unsuccessful. Do any of you experts out there have info on this round.
it is shorter that than the .500 mag[:D]
