What KEC said Win 52, Win 69A, or Win 75

I own shoot and reload for a 450NE.... dirthawker is pretty much spot on.... If.. you are happy with the performance of Hornady's DGS & DGX and they shoot well in your gun then you're good to go. But as a Hand loader there are probably more quality .458 bullets to be found then many of the...

Bell shot Eles with a 275 and Buff with a 256 So I guess theoretically a DG Rifle is what ever you feel comfortable with or have in hand

"Yep. A 570 gr bullet at 2150 is a 570 gr bullet at 2150. While powder charge is a (very minor) component of calculating recoil energy - bullet weight, MV, and rifle weight are the big 3." If you are to believe https://shooterscalculator.com/recoil-calculator.php then weight of the powder...

Between the Bore Riding concept and .001 diameter less the bullet is easier on older barrels

Cutting Edge Bullets makes a 480 Solid and a 450 Raptor yu have to look under caliber and .457 I have been shooting this combo in my 1902 Gibbs 450NE at 2150 with much success so not think their is a need to go to a 500gr bullet in the 450

the one that fits and feels the best
