I have some extremely heavy bullets 575Gr.
Looking for some mid range smokeless loads.

Is for a BFR so the loads can be the #2 lever rifle loads.
I found some 500 grain loads and they work very well I just want to try the 575 and do not think just starting with the powder charge for the minimum of the 500 would be safe place to start.

Depending on how far out you can seat the bullet before hitting the lands, maybe up to 70 grains of FFg, compressed. Oh, you said smokeless.
Call Accurate and see if they can suggest a starting load of 5744. It's usually a good choice for the big bores.
