I am shooting for (pun intended) 2450 with the 450s.


If that's the barnes 450 gr, you'll likely have a hard time reaching your goal. As I recall in comparison the 458 lott with a 500 gr hornady soft had about 0.30" longer powder column than the 450 gr x bullet.

As I recall I didn't get much over 2300 fps with the 450 gr.
