Favorite .500 mag ammo

[eddiehelm]

Playing around with some different ammo choices for my 4” .500. What does everyone like to shoot? I’ve been shooting the cheap (relative) magtech 440 gr but recently picked up some of the Hornady 300 gr ftx to try out.

I also have the 4" 500
I have only bought a box or 2 of factory ammo. My favorite load is the Speer 325gr JHP with around 43gr. of Hodgdon H110 or Win 296.
I also load some 300gr Berrys plated at a starting load with a few different powders with good luck.
I had some 440gr lead and the recoil was a little stiff unless loaded down.
