S&W500 loads
« on: December 07, 2009, 02:24:43 PM »
S&W 500. Looking at bullet molds, sizer dies etc. Closest mold I see readily is 508, if you use WW's they may shrink a tiny bit, say 506/507. The sizer die available is for 501. a .005 or .006 swage is quite a bit,no?? What mold and sizers do some of you guys use? Also, who has shot sabots and 45 cal muzzle loading bullets through their 500 ?? What load and what results?

I ordered the Lee mould in 440gr w/th GC.  I have several sizers but have not shot it enough to determine what is "best" for my Smith.
