I finally got to try out the 500 Magnum again, this time with CCI primers and H110. I used 39 grs. of H110 under a 350 gr. Hornady XTP. The gun was flawless. What I don't understand is that the Hodgdon data says 39-43 grs. of H110 for the 350 bullet and 34-40 for the 400 gr. Sierra JSP. If I use Titegroup they say 11 -18.5gr. for the 350 XTP and 15-17.5 for the 400 JSP. If I use the minimum loads I'm using more powder in the 400 gr.JSP than the 350 XTP. Why would Titegroup use more powder for the heavier bullet and H110 use less? Thanks
