its been a while since I've bought any..... mainly reload for it. I think I figured at one time it was about $5-7 a round.... for the cheap stuff!

Load up on the ammo. It won't get any cheaper.

I usually shoot 500gr out of it, although I do have some 700's that will rock your world!

Haha, I can't imagine shooting that heavy of a bullet out of a pistol, that's got to be crazy & I use to think the 50AE was a bad round.

That would be fireworks with NO report. Lots of sparks with no BANG. Right?

Yup, if I owned that 500, I wouldn't be shooting it very often at all. How many reloads can you get out of the brass, if you go conservative on the powder?

Depends which fireworks store you go to, I know where to get the good stuff that makes loud bangs

I usually load them on the lighter side..... no reason to blast 400gr bullets at 2700fps all the time...... just puts a lot of wear and tear on you and the gun..... and your wallet . It all depends on the brass..... some holds up good, some doesn't. Just gotta inspect them well and resize them properly.

We drive about 2 hrs down to Indiana to get the good stuff around here.
