A 500S&W load question....
« on: August 19, 2007, 03:06:48 PM »
I know at least a couple of you are loading the 440WFGC bullet from Ranger Rick.

I loaded up 20 of them tonight with 5744 powder. Anyone else try this powder?
Supposedly the top load, (30-33 grns) will net me just over 1400fps in the 22" handi.

 I have used Lil'Gun and H110 thus far with mediocre results. I REALLY wanted to get the 500gr XTP bullet to shoot well. No real reason other than size and weight.... this 440 really looks, MEAN!!

 Whats your suggestions?

 Thanks for the help,
 CW
