Isn't the 450 Rigby the 338 Laupa necked to .458

I read a lot of O'Connor and I don't recall him praising the Silvertip. O'Connor praised the Nosler Partitions as i recall

Norma 458Win brass

I'm using W-296 15 grains if memory serves with the bullet deep seated and crimped over the driving band

Shot from a New Model Python 4.25" barrel

Norma brass, Federal 215 primer, 380 grain LeHigh flat point, 80 grains of AA2230

Norma 458 Win mag

The Hammer bullet are very good

Loaded the 380 grain LeHigh flat point in 458 Win Federal 215 primer and 80 grains of AA2230

Loaded the 380 grain LeHigh flat point in 458 Win Federal 215 primer and 80 grains of AA2230

I've found that deeper seating increases velocity without the need for more powder

Loaded some 458 Win mag in Norma cases. Federal 215 primer 80 grains of AA2230 with the LeHigh 380 grain flat point Played with different overall length

2000MR and/or CFE223 are excellent powders for 350 grain TSX or TTSX

Federal 215 primer Remington or Winchester cases as the ones I have hold the same amount of powder and 65 grains of Power Pro Varmint. 64 grains does 2911 FPS

Love the Garmin!

1885 Highwall, 28" barrel

Mine is shooting 1/2 MOA at 200 yards with a variety of bullets.

Winchester cases, Federal 215 primer, 65 grains of Power Pro Varmint 1885 Highwall, JES Rebore, 5 groove 10 twist, 28" barrel

Exit from a Hammer Hunter on a deer shot mostly broad side. https://hammerbullets.com/

Damage from a monometal bullet. Animal dropped at the shot. No tracking required.

Nothing in my experience with over 150 big game kills supports your position.

Definitely not my experience! Mono metal bullets puts game on the ground fast compared to any lead core bullet

The 200 grain TTSX and the 200 and 220 Hammer Hunter will both shoot flatter and penetrate better than a 250 grain lead core bullet in 35 Whelen

I'm not familiar with a "35 Wellington"

Before the Speer data, there was no load data for Power Pro Varmint, CFE223 or 2000MR. These powders safely increased the velocity above all other powders

I'm sure you have no issues with standard primers. I had read that magnum primers with those powders gave better shot to shot consistency. I haven't compared to see for myself

I use Federal 215 Magnum primers with Power Pro Varmint and CFE223 in my 35 Whelen

With Power Pro Varmint and CFE223 I use Federal 215 primers. Very happy with the reuslts.

I use Federal 215 primers with CFE223 & POWER PRO VARMINT

Nice

225 grain for the 35 Whelen and 350 grain for the 416

You certainly don't have you, but I fail to see why a flatter trajectory isn't a plus. As long as pressures are within SAAMI safe area.

I highly value your knowledge and friendship! You are a very intelligent and generous man. I am a revolver shooter therefore 1,400 to 1,500 FPS is top velocity. As such we don't have 2000+ FPS velocity which in itself can cause increased trauma to vital organs. Therefore we give up a bit of...

As a handgun hunter my experience has shown that round nose bullets leave holes that do not bleed as well as the holes from flat point bullets.

Better straight line penetration and larger wound channels

H-4350 was my go to powder in the 30-06 with 165/168 grain bullets. I have since switched to Ramshot Hunter. Hunter will push 168 gr. TTSX bullets to 2950 FPS and 1/2 MOA at 200 yards

Hammer bullets are very accurate and about any load is accurate. I have loaded 300 gr. Hammers in my 416 Rem for 3001 FPS over 2000MR

I know of 2 individuals that used the 404 gr. Shock Hammer on buffalo. 1 loaded his to 2400+ FPS & other 1 loaded his to 2500+ FPS. They both hit big mature Cape Buffalo in the shoulder both exited and obliterated the heart both buffalo moved more than a few steps and were done.

CFE223 works very well in the 375 H&H behind 270 grain bullets, which are what shoot

I've noticed that at times the loads have exceed the recommended load to equal the predicted velocity because of different chamber and barrel dimensions even with the same length

280 Remington, 24" barrel and 65.7 grains of Magpro

If both are loaded to the same pressure there is only about 40 FPS difference between them. The 280AI is SAAMI'ed about 5,000 PSI higher than the 280 Remington. I'm getting 3132 FPS with 140 TTSX. I used 270 Winchester 130 gr. data since they are about equal in SD.

140 gr. TTSX

The load for the 300 Win mag should be 84 gr. Magpro not 85.7

Magpro is an excellent slow burn spherical powder that produces outstanding velocity in such cartridges as the 270 Winchester and the 280 Remington and 300 Win mag. These are the 3 cartridges that I have tried with Magpro so for. 24" barrel 300 win, 180 gr. TTSX 85.7 gr. 3154 FPS, the same load...

I loaded 64 grains of CFE223 behind the 250 Partition with Federal 215 primers and had the load pressure tested and it only produced a max pressure of 48,500 PSI

CFE223 works very well but gives up a little velocity to Power Pro Varmint with the 200s
