Loads for 500JRH

[kevinp]

Ordered the 500JRH, whats a good bullet to start with thats accurate,and mild, 370gr, 400, 440 ?

The lee 501-440-RF would work but it needs a GC.
With my 440 PB I use 29.5 gr of 296 with a Fed 155 primer. Work up loads with the Lee. Start at 26 gr.
You won't find a heavy boolit shoots good with mild loads. A lighter would do better for that. Look for HS-6 loads.
Here is some info.

Boolits are all different and a GC boolit can build more pressure. Watch the primer, use a LP mag, not rifle primers.

thanks 44man,I see beartooth has 440gr. .501 GC, but I'd also like to get a 400 gr. and a 370 gr. which midway has them, but there .500 dia. not 501 are they ok? Can't seem to to find any 400 or 370 with GC, other than at Midway .

Need .501", many boolits were made for the AE and could be smaller.
