So I bought a 458, with a 20 inch barrel today....

I wacked 3 1/2" off of my 458 WM+ (3.6" mag box) Winchester Safari. I was getting 2410 fps when it was 24". I am hoping to get around 2300-2350 now out of it at 20 1/2". I am shooting 450 North Fork SS and flat and cup nose solids. I use both TAC powder and A2230. Even if I only get 2275 FPS it will certainly do the job needed at the ranges I will be shooting it. My only fear are the Swarovski scope and walnut stock handling the recoil long term. You should be able to find as great load for that rifle. I think you likely limited on COAL with the magazines it uses. But NEW factory ammo is good. Try Buffalo bore with there 400 Barnes or the 450 Barnes.
 
Buffalo Bore has 400 TSX loads at 2650 fps
I ordered a sample pack from Superior Ammunition, 450 northfork, 450 barnes, 45 A frames
I also ordered a box of factory 450 ttsx. Depending on velocity and accuracy the BB 400s maybe something i try.

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
