I acquired a 450-400 3" Searcy last year and it came with several different loads. The light load is 210gr (edited from 185) pistol bullet, the mid load is 300gr Hornady and the regulation load is for 400gr Woodleighs. All of them will group 2" at 50 yards and I can keep any of them on a Paper plate out to 200 yards with just the iron sights.

With the three different loads I consider it to be a one gun for the world. The 210's (edited from 185) work great on deer size game, the 300's are perfect for heavy game, and the 400's will work for dangerous game. I think the 450-400 is ideal for a hunter(non-PH).

Just my opinion and worth exactly what you paid for it.
