    502 375Gr. spire point loads and info help

    i just happened to check NOE's website and saw he had the 502 spire points in stock! i've been wanting this mold for a while now and just ordered the 4 cavity mold. i tried doing a search on here for some load data specific to this boolit and how well it performs but didn't find much.

    i load 350-700gr boolits for my S&W 6.5" 500mag and have the following powders available

    IMR 4227
    IMR 4579
    IMR 4198
    benchmark
    h110/w296
    2400
    trailboss
    lilgun

    that should be enough for now

    i know these threads are annoying but i'm just so dam excited about the mold i have to share lol.

    I have the same mold. In my BFR I would start at 32 grains of 296 and start working up. Somewhere between 36 and 37 grains was all the fun I cared to have. Enjoy.

    7.5"......The gun will take more than 36 grains with a 440. All I can take is 36. That 375 spire point with WQWW will go clean through a 55 gallon drum full of wet ashes and leave about a 3/4 inch hole on the other side. How much more penetration are you really needing? Soon I will experiment with it in the 50 JRH. Hopefully by this summer there will be some more info.
