I have some of the 500 grain GS custom "ribbed" solids in .510 that I would like to shoot in a 500 Jeffery. If anyone has worked up loads for this bullet I would appreciate the recipes. I put my 535 grain Woodleigh recipe on the "Favorite Load" forum. Thanks. MUFASA | ||

Thanks for your help. I'll have to get the length of the bullets when I get home, but I would like to use Reloader 22 or 25 or Hodgdon 7828 or 4831. I'll be back in touch. MUFASA | |||

Mike, The "best" powders will be 760 4350 4895 h380 rl15 3031 4350 22,25, 7838 are all too slow (too much powder burnt outside the barrel) more than 15% of the charge is OUTSIDE the barrel. I'll send you the quickload charts 4831 is pretty good.. high load % and burnt% jeffe #dumptrump opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

mufasa, I have loaded that round. I used Varget. The load was not as accurate in my rifle as the 540gr. FN solid was. I loaded 98 to 105 gr. of Varget and 5 gr. dacron fill. The speeds were between 2325 and 2550 f/s. For my rifle I used RL15 also but Varget was by far more accurate. square shooter | |||
