Was going to choose Hodgen H110 until I read a thread about just a small amount too much or little can cause a pressure spike; enough to cause a Kaboom.
For shooters here using H110 have you seen anything to indicate it is very sensitve in this regard? I would think as long as I follow the Hodgdon manual I should be ok.
Also seems like Hodgdon Lil Gun is popular for the S&W 500. Is this powder more pressure spike forgiving? How many here prefer it over H110?
My Speer manual states that they used Large Rifle Magnum primers for this cartridge. I have not seen any other loading data to indicate that. Is there a performace gain in this cartridge to use a magnum primer? I would not think there is a enough powder there to use a mag primer, no more than a .308 or .06.
Thanks for any thoughts yall may have
