I am looking for load data on 300 grain bullets I want to use LiL-gun or 5744 or 2015 or N110 powders looking for velocity range of 1600-1800 fps here is the catch i am loading for my handi-rifle and using 300 grain gold dot speer bullets speer has no data for this bullet in the 500s&w as it is for the 50 AE round However Speer technical support states they will hold up at these speeds and will give pass-through performance and awesome expansion on whitetails, i am thinking of starting @ 40 grains of LIL-gun or 42.0 grainsof 5744 and not sure on the other two powders, I am favoring 5744 due to its bulk and use in light loads in large cases IE 45/70 45-100 45-120 loads I know i could use heavier bullets but these will expand and work @ the speeds i am looking at and these loads are for a buddy to use out to 100-130 yards and not beat him up to badly ( he is disabled) thanks for the help

From my experience reloading with Lil Gun its not pressure sensitive. Start low and work up watching for pressure signs. Some where you should get very good accuracy with it. Lil Gun in the 10 ML was very accurate. Mike

Why would you want to give up the velocity advantage that the 200 grain bullets give you? Not to mention the added recoil. mshm
