Speer .50 DCHP 350 grain - .500 S&W Load data?
« on: September 25, 2012, 01:02:56 PM »
Anyone have Speer data for this bullet with Lil Gun? Min/Max? Waiting for Speer to reply but thought I'd check here as well.
Thanks,
Muddy

Should run from 33 to 37 gr. The bullet does not make much difference as long as it is 350gr Jacketed, I think this was a Hornady. It is in the Lyman manual.

Same assumption but just looking for more detail. Thanks for suggestion though.

Speer response:
for the 500 S&W with Lil' Gun, we used a Federal 215 primer:  Start with 45.0 grs @ 1667 fps to a MAX of 49.0 grs @ 1739 fps.  Tested at a COAL of 2.070"

Seems a bit high. Asked them to confirm since this higher than Hornady 300 gr FTX for Lil Gun.
