Folks,
I had this question as part of my last post, however it was overshadowed by another question, and would like to give it some more attention.
I have some Berry's Plated rounds in .500" that I'd like to load for my 500 Magnum, however, they don't have cannelures.
On Berry's website, they state they generally do not place cannelures in their plated bullets due to the difficulty involved in doing so, but will add cannelures on their rounds dedicated for 45-70 and 500 S&W. (There is a 300 gr. offering without a cannelure, and a 350 gr. offering that does have a cannelure in the .500" section)
I intend to load these rounds into my 500 S&W, but am not sure if bullet setback will result if I am merely using a roll crimp on a bullet that has no cannelure. I have emailed Berry's and they quoted what I stated above right back to me (an obvious copy-paste response to a narrower question) and have left me with no more comfort.
If the answer is that they will move around in the case, would I run into any issues if I decided to single-feed these to avoid issues from recoil?
I realize that the firmest answers I will receive are to 1) Try it and measure the OAL of the remaining cartridges in the cylinder after a few shots or 2) Absolutely avoid loading them at all costs or risk losing my face, hand, and remarkably expensive revolver. I am just asking if anyone has similar experience with this sort of thing, including in .454 Casull, .460, etc. I also don't mind loading these down some.
Thank you to those who responded in my other post. Feel free to respond here as well.
