This video from MuzzleBroke explores the effective range of the 500 Auto Max cartridge, specifically in a Big Horn Armory Next Generation AR with a 10.5-inch barrel. The instructor, demonstrating experienced firearm handling, states that research indicates the cartridge is very effective out to approximately 200 yards, with ballistic capability decreasing beyond that point. This range is deemed more than sufficient for its intended use as a compact bear defense firearm.

This review dives into the Big Horn Armory 500 Auto Max, a custom AR-10 platform rifle chambered in the potent 500 Magnum cartridge. The video highlights the differences between the rimmed 500 S&W Magnum and the rimless 500 Auto Max for semi-auto feeding. Extensive testing includes reliability, barrier penetration through cinder blocks, body armor (Level III+ plates), and terminal performance in ballistic gel.

This video features Jon Patton and special guest shooter Talon Sei providing their initial impressions and "first shots" of the Big Horn 500 Auto Max pistol. The video also includes links to the Talon Sei YouTube channel, TGC's Patreon, merchandise, and various sponsor discounts. It covers essential firearm information and offers a platform for audience engagement through social media and business inquiries.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features a "pine board box" penetration test using the Big Horn Armory AR500 rifle chambered in the powerful 500 Auto Max cartridge. The test involves three different pre-production loads: a 275 Grain Barnes XPB, a 440 Grain Hard Cast, and a 575 Grain Hard Cast bullet. Muzzle velocities, energies, and the number of pine boards penetrated are recorded for each load, highlighting the significant ballistic performance of the 500 Auto Max. The video also includes calls to action for supporting the channel on Patreon, purchasing merchandise, and following them on social media, as well as discount codes for Defense Targets and Underwood Ammo.

This ballistic gel test of the .500 Auto Max caliber from a Bighorn Armory AR-500 rifle showcases impressive terminal performance. Different ammunition types, including Barnes 275gr HP and Buffalo Bore 400gr Flat Point, were tested, demonstrating significant penetration and expansion. The .500 Auto Max, a rimless .500 S&W Magnum variant, proved effective in the AR platform, offering higher capacity and robust ballistics.

This video compares the 500 Auto Max and 50 BMG cartridges through various destructive tests. The 50 BMG consistently demonstrated superior penetration and destructive power against oak boards, cinder blocks, and steel plates, despite the 500 Auto Max having a comparable bullet weight. Both cartridges showed significant energy transfer in water bucket tests, with the 50 BMG exhibiting more explosive results.
