I'm shooting the Barns 325 XPB with 41.5 gr.of H110. I've tested up to 45 gr. and thought the 41.5 did well. So I sighted in at 25 then to 50 then 75 and at 100 the group opens up to 20". I drooped back to 50 and groups are small 3" to see if scope had issue and it seems to be fine. I know each gun shoots different just wondering what loads you 500 mag. guys are shooting. I have the 10 1/2" P/C.I have other powders Lil Gun and IMR 4227 and CCI 200 LR primers. Any info would help.THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

I shoot my 325 Xs over 42.0 WW296. I only use this in an open sighted 6" Smith and can easily hit a 6" rock at 100 offhand(sighted in 1" high at 25).
I shoot 375 gr. Xs over 38.0 gr. WW296 in a 10" Raging BUll and get 3" at 100 all day. Killed a brown bear at 129 with one shot and this bullet.
I us CCI Mag. primers for all these loads.

I've used a Bushnell 2-6X Elite on my .500 without any problems.
