I know:
IMR =improved military rifle
LGC=lead gas check?
LG=?
PB=plain base

Any input is appreciated.

The one you are asking about CIMR, I am guessing is a "typo". I am not familiar with it anyway... I think the "IMR"(powder) got in there with the "CPB"(boolit) somehow...

Following the same lines of data you provided...
There is a 370 gr. CPB LGC which is a bullet made by Cast Performance Bullets and it is a 370gr. Lead Gas Check boolit and is available for 500 S&W Mag..



CP (L)WFNGC= Cast Performance (Lead) Wide Flat Nose Gas Check
Available at Graf & sons.
;)

I think I answered your question(s).

If not... G'Luck!

Yes. If you go to the Hodgdon site & pick the parameters for 500S&W MAG at the bottom of the pistol ist & then using the data from your list in the OP, you will find the "typos" that are in your list.

"LG" was supposed to be "LGC".

Here is a "copy/paste" of one of your selections in your list brought here to show(Source:http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/pistol), using the selection of a 440gr. bullet/boolit and Hodgdon Longshot powder:

BULLET WEIGHT
440 GR. CPB LGC
Starting Loads Maximum Loads
Manuf/Powder/Bullet Diam./C.O.L./Grs./Vel. (ft/s)/Pressure/Grs./Vel(ft/s)/Pressure
Hodgdon/Longshot/.500"/2.025" /18.5 /1,300 /41,900 PSI/ 20.7/1,393/50,500 PSI

Minor hijack here, but the title reminded me of the Robin Williams scene in Good Morning Vietnam in which he runs through a significant dialogue using nothing but mil-speak acronyms.

Now back to the regular scheduled program.

LOL nailed it. Thanks for all the info!
