QuickLOAD users

[Jay Andrew]

I would run this load for ya, but I have a couple issues.

My current update of QuickLOAD doesn’t have the 500 Auto Max in its database. Its a newer cartridge so the 2018 update CD may have it, but in order for me to get close I’d have to use the parent case, which is 500 S&W. I’m updated through 2016.

The next issue I have is I don’t have a cast bullet manufacturer in the database that does a 700gr hard cast bullet. (Apparently none of the big mold makers make an mold for one either) I can enter it into QuickLOAD but I’ll need the bullet length, and diameter.

Lastly, CFE BLK won’t be in QuickLOAD. It’s a Hodgdon proprietary powder that is made by St. Marks. For what ever reason St. Marks doesn’t want to work with the makers of QuickLOAD on data regarding their powders.


I’ll also need your intended COAL for the load.

500 Auto is the same case as the 500 S&W so that is fine. I'm not sure on COAL. Probably max for 500 S&W which I think is 2.3".

Disappointing on the CFE. It's newer than a lot of the 500 S&W data so loads are limited. I think in rifle it might out perform Lil Gun since it is a slightly slower powder.
