Intentionally tried a LR primer in a 500L under a 480gr
lead bullet. Heavy crimp, rolled into a 45% Mountain Molds crimp groove. Noise seemed limited to the hammer fall. Bullet moved forward about .050" but not enough to tie up the cylinder by entering the B/C gap.
I would guess this is likely due to the large volume of the 500L case and the extra mass of the 480gr bullet, coupled with entering the cylinder throat.
