I am searching for current data for the 500 3". There is plenty for 3031 and 4831. I'm looking for newer data with modern powders. Thanks. Good luck and good shooting.

I was told one of the VV powders produces less recoil for similar vehicles as others. Anyone know if this is true? Good luck and good shooting.

R 15 produces the least amount of recoil of any propellant I have tried in the .500 NE and I have spent a fair amount of time behind one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

The only way I can see that recoil can really be reduced at similar velocities is to use a faster-burning powder where less is required, thus reducing the weight of total ejecta. Would you feel the difference from five or 10 grains in 600-plus? I doubt it but people swear they can. | |||

Load some 570s to 2150 fps with IMR 4350 and some with R-15 shoot them and tell me your verdict. “Perceived” recoil is noticeably less with R-15. Pretty much universally recognized by .500 NE shooters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

That would take me a little while - finding the rifle (plus money for another safari  ) and powders quite rare here at the moment, then working up the loads.So, tell us, what's the difference in weight of the powder and any fillers? | |||
