    handi rifle 50 AK need load(s)

    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.

    In my 500 s&w Handi for a plinking load I load the Lee modern minie over 6.4 grains of Unique. The 365 grain 50 cal minie is essencially a hollow base wadcutter and can beloaded foward or reversed.
    Closest recorded range Chrony kill (3 feet with witnesses)
