Re: 500 Jeffery 450gr bullets
Quote:

I've ordered a 500 Jeffery (in Feb.) and am expecting it within a month or so. I haven't bought any reloading supplies yet. Any recommendations on brass and dies? Also, Barnes and Woodleigh both make 440-450gr bullets in .510. Does anyone know where I can get reloading data for these bullets? I'd like to be able to load these to 1800-2200fps for practice and use on deer.

I'm new to this site...should I post this anywhere else?



Welcome aboard

Go to the section heading -Bullet making- and look for a preson listed as JefferyDenmark he can help you just PM him .

Also Barnes and Woodleigh are not the only maker's of
400 and 450 grain .510 bullet's

There is one other i can think of that make's very nice
bullet's in that Diamator Hummm who could it be.???

ME anything from a flattened washer in .510 to 1200 grain's
Bonded and in any jacket wall thickness you want
and i am cheaper in cost then both ...

If would like a free sample package of .510 bullet's just send me a PM with your name and address and i will get some out to you. PDQ

I don't know where you are or what powders you can get but here are some loads I have shot with the 450 gr Barnes Original in my 500 AHR (Improved Jeffery):



Barrel length - 26"

Case - Bertram

Primer - CCI 250 or Fed 215

Bullet - 450 grain Barnes Original



118 grains of IMR4350

MV - 2242fps



120 grains of IMR4350

MV - 2270 fps



105 grains of IMR4895

MV - 2260 fps



103 grains of IMR4064

MV - 2213 fps



105 grains of IMR4064

MV - 2249 fps



None of these loads was particularly accurate in my rifle, groups of 4 to 6 inches at 100 yards being normal. The heavier (535gr through 600 gr) Woodleighs shoot much much better (1" to 1.5" being the normal) and kill very well indeed. As I stated earlier these loads were in a 500 AHR, but they should do practically the same thing in your 500 Jeffery. You may want to reduce by 5% and work up, just to be safe. The 500 AHR has about 6% more case capacity than your 500 Jeffery does. However none of the loads I have posted are at all high pressure.



As far as finding data on the web or books goes, I haven't a clue.



Hope you find the information somewhat useful.

Ola' Gringo

with my .500 Jeffery I use only Woodleigh bullets (both soft point RN and FMJ RN) 535 grs

Powder Vit N140 105 grs for soft nose and 102 for FMJ

It's very accurate: take a look to pdf attached, 8 shots at 50 meters, the scale are centimeters, the first shoot was the right upper, the others...



Barrel Lothar Walther 56 centimeters, Mac Millian stock and CZ action, muzzle brake, Nikon scope 1,5-4x20







have a great day

Yeah, I live in Memphis for now. Hopefully I'll be able to reconcile that before too long and get back to one of the mountain states.
