Can someone post the starting load for the hornady 300g FTX for use in a 500 S&W Mag using H110 powder..... Iv had hell finding any info on this bullet, but I havent had a chance to buy a Hornady Loading manual yet , any help would greatly appreciated.
 
From the Hornady manual, 9th edition, page 881:
300 gr FTX
H110 start 43.6 gr (1700 FPS) max 51.4 (2000 FPS)
WW296 start 43.0 gr (1700 FPS) max 49.8 (1950 FPS)
Hornady case, WLR primer. Velocity from 8 3/8 barrel S&W
COL 2.195 inches

H110 and WW296 are the same powder, made in the same plant. Batches are split, with half labeled/packaged under each brand.

Please note also that Hornady data uses 60K psi as a limit; most other manuals load to 50K psi. Data given is ONLY for the Hornady 300 GR FTX bullet and does not translate to any other 300 grain bullet.
 
Just ordered a book from amazon, be here tomorrow ....since I perty much use Hornady bullets its time I got one
 
Just loaded up a couple of rounds with 45 g of h110 and it is a hand full in a 8 3/8 barrel, no signs of pressure thanks again for the load info
