Starting load 500 S&W BLUE DOT powder
Trying to find a safe starting load using Blue Dot powder and a 335 Grain lead bullet. Any way to figure up a safe starting powder weight? The Lil' Gun and H110 target loads I've been making, I use arround 35-38 grains of the powder. Would Blue Dot be similar?

Blue Dot burns faster than the two you listed. More on par with Accurate Arms No. 7 and Hodgdon HS-7. The only data I've seen for Blue Dot in the .500 S&W was for 495 gr. pills. You may want to e-mail Alliant and see if they can give you a recipe or two.
