I've got a bit of a head scratcher that I could use some help with. I have a quantity of 460gr LFNGC projectiles that I want to use for .500 S&W. The powder will be W296.
After diligent searching, I can't find a single load for that weight projectile.
Is there a way to extrapolate starting charge by comparing projectile weights above and below?
Projectile below desired weight
Projectile above desired weight
.40
