.500 Linebaugh Ammo Prices

Another of John Linebaugh's brutal masterpieces and for years one of the most powerful revolver cartridges a mortal could shoulder. It fires an enormous heavy bullet built to stop the largest and angriest game on the continent. This is the far edge of what a handgun can do and it was built by a man who spent his life pushing exactly that boundary. Legendary hardware.

Factory ammunition is genuinely rare and expensive and largely a specialty-maker affair. Handloading is essentially mandatory. The tiny dedicated crowd that shoots it buys brass and components and treasures every box that surfaces.
