    Power pistol in 500 Linebaugh

    Anybody tried power pistol in the 500L? I'm thinking about trying it as a practice load under some of the 425-480gr style bullets and would like some starting load ideas. My main three bullets I'd like to try are a 425gr LBT wfn, a 435gr LBT lfn, and an RCBS 50-450fn that weighs 481gr with my alloy. All are going in starline brass with lrp.

    I have no experience with the .500 but I use PowerPistol with great satisfaction in the .45 Colt...In the .45, PowerPistol when loaded at the 110% for Unique loads produces almost the same velocities. I would think that starting out with suggested Unique loads would be a place to start...PowerPistol is somewhat slower than Unique...
