So I was reloading for my 500 s&wmag the other day. Using a 350gr bullet with h110. 39gr to 43 grains is starting load to max. I previously was loading 42gr which is pretty stout, so I decided to back it off a bit and load the minimum for some friends to shoot. Well suffice it to say I goofed and accidentally loaded 10 rounds at 37gr, 2 grains below the starting load. So my question is will those be ok or might I end up with a bullet stuck in the barrel? Should I pull them apart and start over? what would you do?
ps I also looked at the pressures of the load and referenced it with a 500 Wyoming express 350 gr load;
500 Wyoming express minimum loads pressure is listed at 34,600 PSI with h110 (it goes much lower with other calibers and bullet weights)
500 mag minimum is 41,500 psi with h110
same exact bullet hornady xtp's
oal is about.2inches longer on the 500 s&w mag
