Now that I have all my reloading stuff for my new 500 S&W Handi Rifle, I sat down with my manuals last night to start thinking about loads. Guess what, I don't have a single powder suitable for this cartridge!
Well, I do have Trail Boss, but it's loads are just TOO mild!
I picked up a 440 gr. FNGC mould and a box of 400 gr. JFP's, so using those bullets I went thru all my manuals and LoadData. Looks like H-110 is the "go to" choice for the 500 for both cast and jacketed bullets with Lil'gun and 4227 showing up as also rans.
I normally don't like powders with as many "watch out for's" and "you gotta's" as 110 and Lil'gun, but the only thing I know about them is what I read so... I gotta see for my own self!
H110 it is!
