powder-460xvr

Has anyone ever tried tite-group or blue dot in reloading for the 460xvr?

I've used titegroup in the 500 mag. Makes light loads, and as the powder only takes up a very small amount of the case capacity, you have to be very careful not to double charge a case.
Makes the 500 feel like shooting a 44 special.

I'm just looking for any load data for the two powders for the 460xvr?

Thanks JD-500 for the info....

No problem. I've noticed with some Hodgdon powders, they may list a powder only with data for lead bullets, but I have used the data for jacketed and plated as well with no issues.
The only powder that's even lighter recoiling than titegroup is trailboss. When I called Hodgdon, they said to fill the case just to where the bottom of the bullet would sit, with no compression of powder, and that's the max load. I think they suggested I'd be pushing a 350 gr about 850-950 fps in the 500. ( That's 45acp speed with a 350 gr ).

Also, don't hesitate to call hodgdon or the other powder companies, I find they are usually more than happy to help.

Good luck.

I'll try to give them a call monday if i can find there number.........

 

[roger460xvr]

well i called them but they would not give any data for using the hornady bullets with the tite- group powder..

 

[roger460xvr]

I not giving up yet someone must have a low recoiling charge for the 460xvr something with tite-group and the hornady xtpmag bullets...

Don't you just use one ice cream scoop of powder instead of two scoops

Good luck and don't double charge the light loads.
