500 Jeffery Load Data

Post by 9.3x64 »

Hi all,

I have really been enjoying shooting my R8 PH 500 Jeffery lately and have now almost used up my Norma Factory loads.

The factory 570 grain loads are quite invigorating but manageable, but I would like to try some 600 grain Woodleigh’s.

It’s time to start reloading and I have heard ADI 2209 / H4350 is the powder to use, but cannot find any load data using 600 grain Woodleigh’s.



Has anyone played with this combo, or have any start and max loads from a reliable source?



Would someone please running the numbers through quick load if you don’t mind?



Thankyou in advance Allan

I'm running 110gn of 2209 in my Sako with a 570gn Bertram SP. It's pretty much a starting load, and you still very much know when you've pulled the trigger! :lol:

Even in my 500NE with the same bullet, 2209 is still the powder of choice.
Regards,

Jeff
