    Default Smokeless Powder Loads

    Howdy thrill seekers and pistol shooters!
    Since I have been banging away with handguns I have found two (2) powders I really like. 700X cause it's really clean and Red Dot 'cause it all burns up before the projectile leaves a four(4) in. semi-auto drop in barrel.

    Having embraced big bore a few years back I have decided to include the 500 S&W in my collection. NOW. I see lots of loads for TiteGroup and other slower burning powders, but none for 700X, which burns slower than TiteGroup which I have used up to 14 grs in the .44mag with satisfactory resusts. As my Red Dot is conspicuous by its absense, and it burns just a teeny bit faster than TiteGroup.
    Anybody got any data on loads for the above powders in the 500S&W?

    Welcome to Gunloads pelicanjohn (I imagine there's a good story to go with that handle). I would start my search at the manufacturers' websites while waiting to see what our members come up with. Anything that big I usually shoot out of a muzzle loader.
    If I can see it, I can hit it. Now, where did I put my glasses?
