500 S&W- 300gr. load?

saudst · November 19, 2008, 05:39 PM

Hey people.

One of my wishes were answered last week when I found out that Hornady made available a 300gr pointed bullet for my 500 Smith. However, I can't seem to find any data for H110 or Lil gun powder for this weight bullet. I've found data for 275gr. and 325gr. and do not want to guess the in between load. Does anyone have a source for this bullet weight useing these powders they can share?

Thank you.

Did you ever find out a load for this?

I just bought a few boxes of the Hornady 300 gr bullets and am now in the same boat. All of the load manuals I have only list 275 and 325 gr. Should make for a nice flat shooting deer round if I can figure out the load data by hunting season.

Paochow,

This is where I found what I needed. I am useing Ligun, Starline brass and win. primers and found it to be very acurate. If I find more, I will send it as well. Good luck.
