Quickload data for .500J?

[propliner]

Does anyone have Quickload who can tell me if the .500 Jeffery is included in the database?

I'm specifically looking to see if it can figure out a powder type and range for a 580gr cast bullet at around 1800fps. Can anyone please help with this?

Yes the 500 Jeffery Rimless is there.
For an example, 570 gr Hornady DGX with 80gr of H4895 is running 1800 fps from a 22" barrel.
Coal of 3.60
Max 100 gr at 2203fps.
Use with caution as I have no idea how cast bullets will perform

That's great, thank you. Is there a list of any other powders? The bullet actually casts and checks at 590 grains. Perhaps 600gr data would be better.

What powder do you intend to use?
It has all of them

Ask on Accurate reloading, probably get a bunch of answers in either the big bore or double rifle section, lots of 500 NE' s used there.

Thanks guys, I plan to use RL15 or IMR4166.

84 gr RL 15 gets you 1819fps
104 gr max at 2213fps
3.60 oal
570 DGX 22" barrel

That's all I need then. Very much appreciated.

You can create your own bullets in QL. Measure a dozen cast for length and weight, start pressure would be 1160PSI for a cast bullet

So QL is ordered and downloaded online then?

Ordered from Neconos and they mail you the CD for install
