Hello... I have bought one of the H&R Handi-rifles in 500 S&W cal... I am starting out with some cast bullets , the Lee 501-440 mold... They seem like a good bullet , come out right at .501" ... With the gas check installed and usung a soft alloy mix , they weigh in around 462 grs.
Now I want to reload some with H4198 powder I have here... I realize this is not a normal powder for this cal , but should be okay for a reduced velocity load which I am after for the first go round...
I can't seem to locate any reliable info on the net with this powder , and Hodgdon does not have any listed on their website either....
Anyone try this powder in the 500 S&W?
Thoughts & comments?
Thanks
Bob
