Re: 600 - 700 grain .458 cast bullets

Interesting.
Have you shot the 700 grain bullet for accuracy from various twist barrels already?
Depending on alloy, a cast bullet can be shorter than a jacketed bullet for the same weight, so I imagine a 700 cast bullet be stabilized better than would a similar weight jacketed one. Regardless, it must nevertheless be a really impressive looking, long bullet!
Can you point me to a writeup on the performance of your bullets on heavy game?
Thanks.
No, I have not shot a 700 grain 458 bullet but I have shot many 700 grain 500 S&W loads. Amazing penetration at 1200 fps.
The 700 grain 458 bullet is longer than a 600 grain jacketed bullet. How much longer? I don't have the numbers yet but proto-types will be ready in 2 weeks. Photos will be posted ASAP.
Performance data is not yet available but I have a good number of willing shooters. I'll provide the bullets and they get to shoot them. I should have some actual game performance later this year.
