502 375Gr. spire point loads and info help

[Spawn-Inc]

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.

What barrel length?

Thanks for the load Info.

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.
