Dont count on it, rimmed cartridges are not the best for autoloaders.

Now I know I'm prone to memory lapses, but I could have sworn that the picture I saw of the round had a rebated rim.
If not, then you're right about using it in an autoloader. |

I dont know why it would be rimmed. I know .50 AE is, but this is a revolver round. I guess we wait and see.

I know Corbon is "behind" it but who else? Hell, Corbon supposebly was behind the 458 SOCOM and they are just now taking it seriously enough to guarantee stock...
I'll take a custom upper from TeppoJutsu or Tromix in 458 SOCOM. [:)] |

Rimmed, about .025 bigger than the case

The 500 S&W is indeed a [b]rimmed[/b] round, meant for a new S&W revolver. It is -gasp- essentially a rimmed version of the 50 Beowulf (it hurt saying that [banghead] ) Not sure how close exactly the dimensions are but they look "prit-near the same".
The [b]rimless[/b] (and rebated) round you saw was likely the aforementioned .50 Beowulf As to making rimmed cartridges work in the AR, the biggest challenge is finding a magazine that works. The only man I know that took on this challenge and won was Tony Rumore of Tromix, at one time he built uppers in .44 Magnum. He has since discontinued those. In a nutshell - an upper in .500 S&W in unlikely. Especially with 3 rounds out there that are ballistically within the same ball park. Marty |

One thing you might want to consider before you run out and buy a 500 S&W Magnum. The cost for loaded ammo is right around $3 per round!
I was looking at a couple of the corbon loads today (440 gr SWC and 300 grain Barnes, 36/12 and 38/12 respectively), it's a huge round, but at that price, not one that will see much action. |

Im sure it can be reloaded for under 75 cents a round |

Can't you clowns just be satisfied with .458 SOCOM and other large, expensive rounds you would never actually use for defensive purposes? Is .223 THAT LAME out of an AR-15? Good grief, get yourself some friggin Match King rounds or something! [whacko]

Why not approach from the other direction? You can get revolvers in .45-70, and lever actions in that caliber are easy to find - there's your "matching pair".
Me, I want a lever action in .440 CorBon (it has the same rim size and bore size as the 44 Magnum ....) To match up with a Dessert Eagle (not a typo, I think of them as Dessert ...) M |

How about the BFR and a Marlin lever action in .450 Marlin... that would be a nice match. |
