Picked up a barrel in 50 AK and need some load ideas. Shooting cast in bullet range from 350 g to 700 g. Lots of choices thanks to bullshop. Any help is appreciated.

In the 390gr to 410gr range I load 56.2 322 or55.0 RE7. For the 515142 54.0 3031 workks for me and for the 580"s 55.0 4198 either IMR or H type give me about 1795fps out of a 16" Encore barrel.
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!
