.500 s + w

Personally I'd buy a mold and get a pile of brass otherwise it's gonna cost an arm and a leg to shoot$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Harold
 
Get yourself a melting pot, moulds, and a lubrisizer and find a source of wheelweights. That's the only way you will be able to afford to shoot it enough to become proficient.
 
I bought some Berrys Bullets plated 350 gr. bullets for my 500 S&W from Reloading International in the USA. Though still not cheap they are a much better price than the other offerings available in Canada, even when shipping is added in. Mike was great to deal with and his site is very user friendly, and he is a dealer here on CGN.

I e-mailed Berrys about maximum velocity and loads with their plated bullet and got a reply back the next day, here is what they said:

Our copper plated 350 Gr. RS bullet for the 500 S & W has been tested & works well in the range from 1200 FPS (nice) to 1800 FPS (ouch).

Good data is on the Hodgdon web-site using the Hornady 350 Gr. XTP & will work with our bullet.

Also Speer # 14 has good data with their 350 Gr. bullet that will work with our bullet.

Our Boss has had good results with 35.0 Gr. Hodgdon Lil'Gun.

Good Shooting,
