I've used it with many bullets in the 500. It's great for moderate loads. Just be extra careful to not double charge a case with lighter loads, since it's very fine. (27gr=57% of an empty case)
Hornady lists a max load of 28.1gr/Power Pistol with their 300gr FTX bullet. I've used 26.6gr with it without issue.
Also lighter charges, down to 18gr in these. Power Pistol is not position sensitive.
