I need some load information for the 700gr bullets. I'm using, lil gun and some H110 powder. I use Lil gun for 440 and 500 grain bullets, and I want to buy some 700 grain bullets from Matt's Bullets. Anyone have a good recipe for the powder and bullet combination?
500 S&W 700Gr load formula needed.

When you touch one off, you will separate the "Ranchers from the Rustlers". Like a fool, I shoot 80 rounds of 350 GR. in one setting. My right wrist was out of commision for two months. I ended up selling it and all of the reloading accessories. I'll be curious like, Sparkyv, as to how you and revolver, make out.

Here you go sir https://reloadammo.com/500sw/
It has a lot of recoil, but I don't think it's horrible. I can shoot my 440-500gr bullets without experiencing wrist pain. Additionally, my hand loads feel similar to the stock 700gr rounds I purchased; they have a rating of 1250 fps.

The article shows 700 grainer loads with this comment: "Monster recoil"! Eeek! 
BTW, I'm not recoil sensitive, at least not to my 460S&W with spicy loads levels...

My buddy actually shoots those. I shot one round 10 or 15 years ago. Not actually that bad. Fun but not too practical.

Love to read threads where a shooter has
set out to destroy his hand muscles, wrist
and possibly elbow.
Won't happen right away but it will.
Snap, crackle, pop!

Idk about that lol. It's not bad if you hold it properly but once you dont yeah your gonna feel some pain. Roll with the 500 don't try to fight her or she will bite you.

Yeah, that's the thing about shooting those X-frames, you'd best roll with 'em. On the downside, follow up shots aren't fast, but then again, with all that high energy lead, you shouldn't need one.

Yep pretty much anything of this caliber follow up shots are well shot so make sure you hit your target with the first one and hope it's a good one.
