I plan to get some JRH ammo and try it in my PC 500.
I've also noticed the Federal Fusion 500 Mag load is pretty close to a JRH load; should be great for deer.

Even a load of Trailboss with any reasonably constructed bullet will be enough for deer with reasonable shoot placement out a 500 S&W using of the above mentioned cartridges.
500 JRH shoots just fine out of your 500 S&W, the accuracy may be slightly degraded.
The flexibility of the 460 and 500 does is not that you can shoot 3 or 4 different cartridges it is the fact that they can be loaded over a wide range with an equally wide range of bullet weights.
Handloading unlocks the true potential of these guns.
Good luck and be safe
