Anybody shooting BP in a 500S&W?
« on: April 09, 2007, 07:01:24 AM »
In the Taffin article, he mentions shooting black powder in the 500 but said his bullets were too hard to upset and fit the bore properly so accuracy suffered.  Has anyone here successfully tried this out?

  The Hornady Great Plains muzzle loader bullets are pretty soft and have a hollow base that should work but I think they are over .500" diameter. I'm not sure even if they make them anymore?
