For those loading the 50AK, where are you finding your load data? I looked at the Hogdon data & it seems very light. Also looking for a source for hard cast flat nose gas check bullets in the 450 to 550gr range and solids in the 500gr.

There is a complete chapter in Big Bore Rifles and Cartridges. An older book, probably 80's publication. But it has loads from 300 grains to 500+ grain bullets.
