leave the 500 be....if 270 Win is a lot of recoil for ya
recoil question
I have a handi-rifle I am considdering getting a new barrel for in 500s&w but first I would like to find out if anyone can tell me what the recoil is. I have a savage 111 270win that I am comfortable shooting but do not want to get much higher in recoil than that. Is there anyone who can give me an idea on the difference?

I have a 444 Marlin...while it doesn't bother me...its hits pretty hard....Now XD is a pretty healthy fella so I imagine its no biggie to him either...
Course you could load em down with hand loads....
The small light weight handi rifles punish you because of their light weight...There aint no free lunch...Handi (light weight...shorter gun) means more punishment for the shooter...generally speaking
Look at that Chuckhawks recoil table and select a cartridge you think would be suitable and see if H&R will make a barrel....They make a bunch of diff. calibers about $85 for a barrel last I checked
As a matter of fact...I have a handi rifle combo....has a 444 Marlin and 270 Win barrel...I've never used the 270 Win barrel
