.510s through a Dragon Claw?

[MLE]

I have a few boxes of Umarex .510s, 550g from back before I got rid of my Hammer. I don’t own any .510 guns anymore. Can I run them through my .50 Dragon Claw without doing damage? I’ve gotten mixed answers to this question. What’s the consensus here?

Thanks.

Dragonclaw is .50cal with actual diameter of .495-.498 so bullet sized to .510 wont work.. even if you managed to load it what I highly doubt it will jam 100%.. you could size them down but seeing 550gr is way too heavy and if its not thousands of bullets I highly doubt its economical solution.

^^^^^ this is correct !!
dragon claw prefers .498 projectiles @ 240gr
i deer hunted with one for several years successfully.

Yep. I hunt deer with it too, and those are exactly what I use: .498 240g NSAs. One of my favorite guns.

I saw a thread about someone forcing .510s through it and claiming success. Couldn’t find it when I went back but thought I’d see if anyone else did it.

Thanks for the feedback.

I used to shoot .501 out of my Dragon Claw,....but that was the early models so maybe the bore size has changed now.
