    500 jrh: Need advice for bullet weight options for moderate loads

    Just picked up a 500 jrh in a bfr. Looking to run 1000-1100 fps with a 400-450 grain bullet, and I need it to be accurate and stable to at least 200 yards.

    Any experience with nose profiles, nose...

    Although I disagree with the idea that setting up the 550 for 50-100 rounds is a waste of time, I do like your machine and just might get one to have on hand. Thanks for the idea.

    It doesn't look like Dillon makes one for the 500 linebaugh, or does the 500 ae or S&W funnel work for the bigger linebaugh case?

    question about reloading 500 linebaugh

    Thanks for the info. I'll pass on the bullets, although thanks for the offer. I doubt I'll ever use the 180's, as the 165's do everything I think I'll ever need them to do in the smaller 06 case.
