Hi everyone,
I can't seem to find any info anywhere on the proper load for a 330gr flat nose lead cast bullet on a S&W 500 cartridge with Lil Gun. The bullet has no gas check and the maker recommends I keep it under 30,000 psi. I looked up the load data for Lil Gun and it's over 40,000psi with 40 grains.
Most of the load data is listed for Trail Boss, which is totally out of stock everywhere. I just have Lil Gun on hand and am wondering if anyone has loaded this with a 330gr flat nose non-gas checked bullet. This will be fired out of a 8" S&W 500 as well.
On another note...is there a more "universal" powder for the 500? I just started reloading this (or want to rather) cartridge and I'm loading 330, 440, and 700 grain bullets. I was wondering if there was one preferred or most popular powder for these bullets on the 500 so I could just stick to buying one kind of powder -- that way I can find the load data more easily.
Thank you!
