I've been using 400 to 450 grain slugs at 900 to 1200 f/s.
Anyone using 525 grain slugs in 500 Linebaugh. Just got in a batch and looking for a place to start. Appreciate any help/comment.

onceabull,
Can you tell me which mfg handles will fit it? Also, since you load the same mold, what is the OAL of the loaded round. I intend to use it in a converted flattop which Alan Harton is...
