does anyone have the 7th or 8th edition Hornady manual?

Hi,

I am trying to reproduce a factory load in the Hornady Custom .500 S&W and everything that I have come accross so far has been really light in comparison to the factory loads.

I was told that the load can be reproduced using the load in their manual using H110 or AA 1680. Could someone please send me the info they have in their manual for those two powders? As well, if they specify if it's a large rifle or what type of primer to use?

Thanks in advance

My 7th edition gives exactly the same loads as above for the 350gr and 500gr bullets, no 300gr is listed. The only difference is that my manual lists max OAL as 2.040". The 350gr is loaded to 2.000" OAL and the 500gr to 2.040" OAL.
