Ken,
110gn of VARGET will get you 2737fps with the 400gn Woodleigh and you can load up to 116gn for around 2900fps.
IMR 4064 is extremely close to Varget (AR2208) as in you can duplicate loads in the 460 case and not see any difference.

The velocities Woodleigh quotes are pretty spot on as recommended maximums as I used the 400gn in the .460 and the 340gn on the .416 Weatherby loaded to that 2900fps area for each and they blew feral goats in half and sprayed the surrounding trees and bushes with carrion. Made for some impressive instant kills.

Thanks John!


Dang Elk old buddy, 400gr Woodie at 2900 is gonna have chunks of bugs bunny hanging from every bush in a 20 yard circle, you'll have to bring a nice folding chair to sit your rifle on at the spot the bunny "WAS" grin


Trump Won!
