Default SW 500 help w/ranger rick's 600gr dbl crimp fp

Greetings
I have this boolit from Matt's Bullets. It's a FPGC with two crimp positions. I have the 6.5" 500. I have most of the powders discussed less the vihtori family.
I would be grateful for bottom and mid loads for this projectile.

Thank You,

Steve

Did you think to ask the source if they had any load data on their products?

I do have reloading manuals but not for this slug.
Matt gave me one load. 39 gr of 1680, crimp on the bottom groove(longest oval). That's it.....So if anyone has personal or shared data for it that would be great. Or I can read for myself just point me there.

By The Way, welcome to the best gun Forum!

Everybody is reluctant to give loading data for fear someone will get a ka-boom! Get data from bullet makers. When I needed specialty loads, I used to call Hornady's Ballistics lab. But they are going to want to verify you won't destroy your gun and blame them!

I was always after the lowest pressure shotgun loads with standard velocity, to extend the life of medium age shotguns, they just want to verify what your skills are sufficient usually.

Again, Welcome!

Ivan

Thank You and appreciate you bringing up to speed
Regarding load data inquiries.
It stinks but I get it for sure.
