some of you may be un-aware that lee has produced a lighter weight 350 grain mold for the 500 mag revolvers
these lighter weight projectiles noticeably reduce recoil, I found the same 22 grains of blue dot powder used under that 350 grain bullet,makes a more pleasant target load, yes you can easily increase the velocity further but why?
its already hitting harder than most 44 mag loads can.
yes both LEE hard cast gas check bullets can be pushed to higher velocity, but at some point you really want to ask, whats required to do the intended purpose? if either bullet drops game like thors hammer whats gained by stressing the handgun to higher pressures?
