Need to hear you tips- tricks the do's and don't for the 500 S&W magnum

I just traded for a S&W 500 in a new england firearms handi rifle.

I have been both casting and handloading for a few years.

My eyes shot out of my head when I saw a box of MAG_TECH bullets of 20 for $49.30

anyone have extra or no longer needed brass ??
thanx

I'll bump this to the top, as I have the same questions.

Albeit its my buddy's Handi Rifle, but my old man with the performance center Smith probably wouldn't turn down some handloads for the handcannon.

Pay close attention to the brass as some early brass used large pistol primers while currently it is designed to use large rifle primers.

We've loading for a friend's Performance Center .500 and H110 has worked well for us under the Barnes bullet.
