Would it be safe to shove as much pyrodex into a .500 S&W case as can physically fit in there, before shoving a bullet in an crimping it before the pressure shoves it back out again? I can't imagine any amount of the stuff that could fit in a .500 S&W case would ever cause pressures to spike past 86k psi (the maximum proof loads listed by SAAMI). Anyone have any experience with black powder and black powder substitute loads for the .500 S&W. I'll also be using corrosive primers if that makes a difference.
