.500 Whisper!

Post by Title II Firearms »

I got the chance to shoot a .500 whisper yesterday. What a caliber! It shoots regular 50 BMG bullets at subsonic velocities. Cases are made from 338 Lapua. Subsonic API and tracer is very cool.
the X-50 did a good job of quieting the .500, especially when you consider that it was intended for the Barrett M-107.

Edited to add: The suppressor is not a production item and not available for sale.

There is a reason they call this the "Photos and VIDEOS" forum. :D Would love to see it in action. Nice piece.

Twist rate

Post by David Hineline »

What does the twist rate have to be to stablize that hunk of lead at subsonic velicitie?

I don't know what the owner plans on using for a scope.

Seeing and shooting this rifle has prompted me to start on a 300 whisper M16 build. I will have to work my way up to the 500. :D

Actually, it was a 510 whisper you shot. The 510W is baed on the 338, while the 500W is based on the 460 weatherby. I have a 510W barrel for my encore. A 2x18" aluminum can (form 1) I made for it makes it sound like a car door slamming. This 7.5 pound gun kicks so hard it has wrecked two scopes, damaged a Leupold, and ripped off the bipod adaptor and forend a few times. I should have gotten the TRG-S based gun instead. Wish I lived outside of WA so I could shoot it more often.
