The 500 mag is totaly raw. I purchased mine to do some serious hawg hunting needless to say they are darn good bacon makers.
I am shooting handloads at 19grs of Titegroup under a 300gr Rainer hp. Love these loads. They give me all the accuracy, recoil, and boom I need to say the 500 mag is a blast.
Great conversation piece in hawg camp

I have been shooting the 500 Mag for around 5 years now, I have taken deer, hogs and a black bear with mine. I have a BFR in 500 Mag and a 4 in S&W 500 Mag. My primary bullet is a 370 gr. hard cast bullet loaded with H110 powder. I have shot from 275 gr. bullets up to 700 gr. in both of my 500 Mag's and it is a thumper of a handgun. I have over 300 rounds fired between the two of them.
Me I won't use the titegroup powder, I am always concerned of a double charge, I like to fill the case with H110.
You are right about a great conversation piece, in bear camp everyone wanted to shoot it.
