I have loaded & shot the Berry copper clad bullets & really like them. Good links in the post above should help you with your loads. To be extras sure, try contacting the recommeded powder manufacturer to confirm questionable loads. I've done that a time or two.

If you're brave (or plan to hunt dinosaurs) you can order some 700 grain cast bullets for your .500 from a very nice guy up in your neck of the woods (Homer, AK) named Ranger Rick. He had load data as well.
