If I had to put a guess I'd say the S&W 500 ammo is more of a "specialty" round. When you reload the price becomes much closer in costs to one another.
I started with a few autos. I just got rid of my last Glock that got traded for a security six. I just got tired of chasing my brass and I have never shot those as well as my wheel guns. The only auto I haven't own but is on my list is a 1911.
Like others have said it doable with practice. I use 23g of H110 with 240 Keith bullets. We were just shooting a 10" gong at 100 yards today with open sights. Once I knew where they were missing a small adjustment is all it took to start hitting it.
So just a little update. I have loaded 5 rounds in .1 grains from 6.5 to 7.5. I'm still getting leading and accuracy has been declining. I don't know what the maximum charge is for a 44 spaecial as all my manuals only go up to 6.9g. I may just load a few in a mag case with 10 grains of unique to...
This is basically what I was thinking. Is this a common problem when using specials in a magnum cylinder? If not then I would like to keep working on this so I don't get the full house rounds mixed up with the powder puff rounds.

So I've been having a slight leading problem with my .44 special loads in my Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter. I am using Missouri Bullets Cowboy #3 with Unique in .44 Special Starline brass with CCI 300 primers. I've started my loads at 5.7 grains and worked up to 6.5 grains. I'm getting some...
I can't speak for everyone but I understand the severity in squibs. I am thankful that I knew there was a problem right off the bat on that round and immediately checked it. Then again in my instance I was shooting Magnum loads.
Thanks. I keep a list on my phone so when I go looking around for supplies I have a reference. With that being said I have never saw that brand at any of the stores around here. Usually only alliant, hodgon and IMR.
