Murphy, how did you figure all this out? Do you shoot and reload 24/7?

Ranger Rick, those 700gr loads scare the hair outta my ears. And I'll load some.

AlleninAlaska, good, no nonsense, "this is how it is..." thanks, I needed that.

mauserboy, thanks for the link for custom hard cast.

I found a small outfit in Washington state, that builds good, inexpensive 500 S&W ammo. http://www.ballisticsupply.net/Default.aspx?tabid=252105

He uses Starline brass, CCI BR rifle primers, and decent quality bullets. He starts at a buck a round for a box of 50 of his "reduced target" load, 350gr Berry's plated 350 grain FP bullets at 1250fps.

He only makes S&W 500 ammo and they come in a MTM plastic ammo box. I don't have any connection with the company,but I always like to see a family operation make it.
