500 S&W Brass Data

[DR Owl Creek]

This is data I have accumulated over a period of time, while trying to work-up the most accurate and consistent loads that I can. I thought I would share this with you.

All brass was trimmed to 1.615" +/-.001":

Cor-Bon (Starline) (10 pcs): Average Weight 185.4 gr, ES 2.3 gr
Hornady (20 pcs): Average Weight 170.3 gr, ES 3.3 gr

Please add any other relevant data you have for 500 S&W brass, such as other brands, case neck thickness, case capacity, number of times reloaded, problems if any, etc. Loading comments or quirks for these cartridges would be appreciated too.

Thanks

Dave
