MartyLehigh solid 500 S&W
I am going to work up a load for my 500 S&W Big Horn Armory model 89 carbine. (18 in barrel.)
It will probably be Lil Gun or AA 5744.
My goal is to get as close as I can to 2000fps.
Anyone have experience with this bullet?

Brian CanadaHodgdon CFEBLK is worth trying for 500S&W rifle barrels, especially a single shot, where you can seat the bullet shallow for more powder room.
See Hodgdon loading guide website. Shows only pistol barrel loads but it gives you an idea.

Alliant has a recipe for 350 grainers.
