With Hodgdon's Tite Group powder? I've been reading articles on the net about detonations with this powder in the 500?

I don't. Never seen any info on that.

I like H110 for full house loads and Unique for lighter weight plinkers (but still much more than a 44M).

I've read on John Ross' website about "full case" charges of fast rifle powder loads for heavy boolits that'll have only moderate recoil at moderate pressures due to no air space, I did try one load of that, I think I used BLC2, but don't recall right now...I didn't continue since it seemed like a waste of powder (in my 4" revolver) when I can get similar results with about 1/4 the weight in Unique.
Good Luck,
Jon
