.50 ae reload data

[tonyfac]

does anyone have any .50ae reload data? specially, speer 300gr bullets with 2400 powder? i have read confliction amounts, from starting with 23gr all the way to starting with 28gr. i have 3/4 of a can of 2400 that i wanted to use up. after that i think i will switch to IMR 4227.

From what i found below, 28 grains might be a tad much. I use 34 grains of win296 powder along with 300 grain speer bullets.. I cant find the specific powder your using with my load sheets but here is what i found otherwise.


Loads for .50 Action Express:
(Note: These are near maximum loads, you should use 10% less to start.)
(See note on Powders below or read all about various Powders.)
Bullets are .500" in diameter. Due to different barrel lengths, type of bullet, seating depth, primer type and other factors, you may not get near the FPS charted. It is just a guide and the reason you should start under these charges and work up.
