    WC820 and 500 S&W data ?

    Has anyone tried WC820 in their 500 S&W ? I was wondering what kind of min. and max. charges you have tried for bullets in the 400 to 500 grain range.

    We have shot in a Handi Rifle, 34 grains of WC 820 lot #47320 and a 450 grain Keith gas check for 1720 fps. Accurate and shoots through buffalo and jackrabbits.

    My WC820 is 2.0gr hotter than the H110 I have.

    And I am glad to hear the SW 500 works on jackrabbits also :

    Thanks for the info. I loaded up a bunch of 440 gr cast bullets with 30 to 34 grains of the wc 820. I'll test it this weekend.
