Looking at bullet choices, will the CEB 450g solids shoot to a similar POI as the 404 Hammers, or might I be better off with the 400g solids instead?
There are no good 400-gr FN solids for the .458 WinMag at present, unless the Woodleigh HYDRO 400-grainer becomes available again, or some other maker (Hammer or CEB) decides to make one that has a band structure suitable for use in both .458 WinMag and .45-70 Govt. The Woodleigh HYDRO does that.
The 450-gr and 500-gr FN solids are best choices. You can make them work with the 404-gr Shock Hammer. the 450-gr TSX and 500-gr TBSS work a charm for the .458 WM+ at less than 3.6" COL. He-men like Sir Jerry like that combo. He also has a good load combo with the 404-gr SH and 500-gr TBSS. It is all good.
I like the idea of 3.38" COL or less in the +3.4" mag box found on most factory .458 WinMag rifles. Sir Jerry has demonstrated that too, in Browning Safari FN Mauser. See his copy to you. Hard to beat.
