Canuckistan, I know what you mean. I am down south in KY and we might have had 14*F last night, warming to 21* for tonight's low. Hope to be burning some powder myself when the snow and "Cold Kentucky Rain" let up. Burn some H4895 with your 550-gr WFN-GC in your .458 WM, whenever possible, and let us know how it works. I predict excellent results.
we are 4 buddies who hunt moose together and 2 of them has Ruger no 1 tropical in 458 and this bullets shoots 1 to 1 1/2 inches at 100 yards ( both rifle ) one moose was shot with this bullet at 1600 fps the moose was about 170 yards quartering away. bullet hit rear ham and existed opposite front shoulder when hit it just drop there the bullet was wheel weigh seized .460 and regular lube was used this bullet is usually shot with 64 gr. of IMR 3031 and the muzzle velocity is 2014 average but that day my friend had taken his practice load by mistake 1600 fps this his a custom mold my mountain mold this year I have a accurate mold 400 gr. with a large flat nose can wait to shoot it and give result my first 458 was a Winchester push feed in 1980 and shooting it with RCBS 400 gr cast bullet with 59 gr. IMR 3031 gave me 1886 fps and the deviation was only 3 fps and this bullet shot cloverleaf at 100 yards I have H4895 and I will try it out with both the 550 and 400 gr bullet and post the results take care canuckistan
