    Load Help Please, 500SW 700gr.

    I have acquired a MM 503 700 PB WFN mould (Thanks man).
    This is an awesome mould.
    I cast (Air Cooled WW + 1% tin and a dash of shot), sized .501" and lubed (Speed Green) 34 boolits. I had to weigh them. High 701.4 gr. Low 698.9 gr. Did I mention this is an awesome mould.
    My pistol is a S&W 4".
    I have a variety of powders H110, 'Lil Gun, 4227 and willing to purchase others.
    I will be using once fired Starline brass.

    I am seeking your help in developing a load.

    Any thoughts or advise is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Larry

    Not sure what a ****cow is but it sounds painful.

    With that load he was having a problem with the cylinder actually rotating and the hammer cockin on recoil. He said he doesnt shoot them anymore in the 4", he has the 8 3/8 S&W also.
