<glock20rocks>Need .50 AE Load Data (not 325gr!)
Hi all, looking for load data for Speer's two (fairly) new .50AE bullets:
300gr GDHP
300gr TMJ
Sure nice to see some more choices! Before it was simple: 32.5grs H110 for 1431fps w/325gr GDHP. End of list. But now...
The TMJ is the one I'm most exicted to try; a FMJ for the .50 finally!! Yippie! Umm...sorry.
So...any info?

JustCwin296 also works, I can't remember where I put the link for a site that I found load data on, with several powders. sorry

<glock20rocks>Thanks for the link! I've seen loads for W296 before, but if memory serves they used a bit more poweder than H110 did. Not enough to really matter though. Still, the loads I have predate the 300gr bullets being availble.

FiftydriverGlock20rocks,
Why don't you just use the 325 gr loads for a starting load for your 300 gr bullets? This would be perfestly safe and just work up from there.
What handgun are you using these loads in? If using the D.E., load to 1475-1525 FPS and you should be fine.
Good Shooting!!

<glock20rocks>Yup, it's the Eagle...my little mouse gun
I need to get a chrono soon. I'd keep the 300's right aro und 1450 or less; factory 300s run a little under that...

KahluamanHey, glock20rocks, I just received the speer loading data for 300gr. bullets. I can e-mail you the pdf file if you like?

<glock20rocks>Got the PDF now! Thanks all!
300gr, 1567fps: That's EASILY .454 level! (300gr/1600fps). Wonder what it could do out of a 10" barrel? Hmm...
Can't wait to get the TMJs...deep penetration from the .50!! Yippie!!
Gotta love the .50AE!!
