Two new .458 WM loads to try.
      #191982 - 17/10/11 09:07 AM

1) 460 grain LBT, 45 grains H4895 + one foam wad. Approximately 1500 fps, a good proxy for 450 BPE in my H-1 tropical.

2) 300 grain HP, 23 grains trail boss, 1250 fps. Great plinking load, no recoil.


Both shoot to the same point of impact with my Leopold 1.7x6 VXIII at 50 yards. Next trip out I will re-zero to 100 yards.

Biggest bitch is iron sight shoot way to high. Need to get filling on that express blade I bought.

That 45gr. H4895 works well in a 90 to 98gr. capacity case as well, with 500gr. bullets too. They ran 1,540fps and were quite safe in my 1871/76 Mauser (re-chambered to .450 Akaskan). The pressure is very low as the load was listed (somewhere) for moderately strong .45/70's at less than or around 24,000psi. I cannot find that exact data now, but it certainly is safe in any M86 Winchester or stronger rifle, even in the short 2.1" case.
