500 A Square and mil. surpl. bullets

Morning Boys
I dusted off my old 500 A2 and was wondering if any of you ever loaded with the 630 mil. Surpl steel copper coated bullets.
I have a bunch of them but I am not sure about the steel jacked in my very nice Pac Nore barrel.
Thanks Martin

Don't know about the bullet question, but the 500 A2 is a great caliber.

Beautiful pic of your rifle.
I don't know how to post pic but my rifle looks much the same.

Rob, yes I have a bunch of them and like to use them can't really find a day loading data on them.
I load for Barnes 600 gr, Hawk 600 , Hornady 750 and a water hardened 550gr cast.
Was just wondering if somebody would have a starting point?
Here in Canada components are getting ridiculous like 20 Hornady A max $75

Ops something went wrong part is missing!
I have some concern about shooting them in the Pack Nore barrel this barrel is a piece of art.
These bullets are magnetic either the core or the jacked and then copper coated.?

OK hope this works I guess if your over 66 these things get more complicated lol

I thought of doing the same thing with my 500 Jeffery and thought better of it. We're buying an AR 50 and will just shoot 50 BMG rounds

Chuck:
Unfortunately this is not the USA the supply here in Can. Are Shortcoming and expensive.

OK boys you keep a eye on this Trump fellow and remember him a in November.

Never tried them in mine, but I would if I could get some for a good price.
