Shot some loads Sunday evening with IMR 4064 and the Speer 400 grain bullet. Going to go out and try the best shooting one soon. It is 101.0 grains of IMR 4064 and a CCI 250 mag primer. Average velocity for 3 shots was 2497 fps.


That 400gn Speer will not hold up to velocities much over 2000 FPS as the jacket is paper thin and the bullets sometimes disappear in a blue mist before reaching the 100 yard targets. I tried it with the following:
400gn Speer FP
40gn Blue Dot 1720fps 2628FPE Fed 215 Primer
57gn 2400 2080fps 3844FPE Fed 215 Primer
58gn 2400 2120fps 3993FPE Fed 215 Primer
100gn IMR 4064 2500fps 5553FPE
110gn IMR 4064 2750fps 6719FPE

The 400gn Remington is a more stout bullet for lighter plinking and feral control in the .460.

When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
