About the type: .500 Bushwhacker
The .500 Bushwhacker is a .50 caliber semi-rimmed revolver cartridge developed by TII Armory for the Magnum Research BFR revolvers. It is currently the most powerful revolver cartridge in the world, offering a similar level of ballistic performance to African dangerous game rifles, such as the .404 Jeffery and .450/400 Nitro Express, yet from standard length handgun barrels. Given comparable barrel lengths, it is nearly twice as powerful as the .500 S&W Magnum. A 10-inch barrel revolver chambered for the cartridge is capable of penetrating 103 inches of 10% Clear Ballistics gel. A 24-inch barrel rifle chambered for the round can penetrate 127 inches of the same medium. A 14-inch .500 Bushwhacker revolver can exceed 3,000 ft/s with select loads.
