For the 500 grain (it actually weighs 540 grains lubed and checked) I loaded 25 and 26 grains of 4759 and the same weight of AA-5744. I also loaded the same weight charges of 5744 under the 300 grain bullet as I wanted to see if it would do better than 4759. None of these loads shot all that well, except for the 26 grain load of 4759. This group measures approximately 5/8" center to center.
The target pictured below was shot at 50 meters. All groups are five shots. There are two groups, both unremarkable, that printed some hits off this target and on to the target below. I had adjusted the sights too low in this instance. Recoil with the 500 grainers is stout enough to get the attention of any shooter.

I'm not likely to shoot this bullet often, but I wanted to have a load that will hold up at long range as some of the buffalo gong shoots call for shooting lever guns at up to 800 yards. It will be interesting to see how this bullet does at very long range.
