.500 S&W and .444 Marlin
It has been some time ago, so I don't remember the exact amount of powder in the load, but I loaded 4895 under a 240grn bullet in my 444 for a hog hunt once. It was not a bad kicking load, but I do remember when I was sighting the rifle in, by-standers commenting on the fireball they saw each time I fired it. That rifle had a 22 inch barrel so it was not one of my short barreled ones.
