What bullet are you interested in shooting in your .458?


Thanks for the offer.

For me light bullets of interest in a 458WM include:

Woodleigh 400gr PP
Hornady 350gr RN & FP
Barnes 350gr TSX

Any loading info you can share would be appreciated.



400gn Woodleigh Weldcore
My best loads were both using 74gn of either H 322 for 2336fps or H 4198 for 2454fps. Both shot under MOA.

Won't consider a 350gn round nose but have used the 350gn TSX Barnes over 76gn of H 322 for 2434fps, 78gn of AA 2230 for 2424fps, 78gn of H 4198 for 2582fps with single digit shot to shot variation.

If you want mild shooting loads then 75gn of either AA 2230 or H 4198 work well also.

Please note that H 4198 has been slowed down since Hodgdon started marketing it. My loads fro 25 years back using the AR original Mulwex versions used up to 10 grains less so you need to work up from around 10% lower charges.
Hope this helps.
