I wouldn't suggest even trying. 55 series would be your best bet

Don't think the new Magda's are made in a 55 any longer.

I really doubt that. 10 color lead core really pushes it to its limits.

Final verdict.... Just loaded 200yds 30 lb power pro and 525 ft 30 lb copper and about 10 yds leader on the new Magda 45. Filled to the brim....

In all seriousness. Unless you're running a charter operation or fishing tourneys why would you even want a 500' copper?

Sold mine last year and haven't missed it one bit. My wife took an hr and 15 minutes to bring in a 27 lb June King. That's just too long. I'll stick to full cores or 300 coppers at most

Not a chance.  Maybe 300 to 350 ft of copper.

You'd definitely need a 55 for 500 ft of copper. Try the Convector CV55 if you're a fan of Okuma.

Just run a 2 or 3oz snap weight off your 300 if ya want more depth. No need for the extra 200ft of copper.

Notice the original poster asked if 500' of 30# copper would fit - my guess is probably.  45# copper - no way.
