Decided to start loading for this rifle. Interested in anyone that might have a Heym that has found a good load. I have been shooting some Superior Ammo and am just not happy with it. Any ideas are appreciated.

Do you know the load it was regulated with? Once you know what it was regulated with you can work at duplicating that load. Perhaps you can email Heym and they can give you some insight. I think there is a Heym dealer who post on the forum and he may be able to help. You can start with a load that is a little bit slow and gradually increase the load till the barrels shoot together in a useful group. You might do a search for load data for the .500 there have ben several threads on load development. This is a big subject to cover quickly
