That North Fork .458-400gr SP is a marvelous bullet to do all but what needs a solid.
I have them on my wish list at www.reloadinginternational.com
Still waiting for the Swedish production.
I unfornutately never got any 400-grainers while I could from USA production, was stuck on 450-grainers then.

Mike Brady loaded his 400-grainer in a SAAMI .458 WM to 2500 fps.
But if one seated it only 0.310" deep, for 3.500" COL on top of a 100% LR charge of AA-2230
or a heavily compressed charge of H4895 ...
so many powders, so few bullets.
A light load of H322 if you only want 2400 fps with the 400-grainer, etc.


Many thanks, Sir Ron! My M70 hasn't yet had the magazine spacer taken out and the ejector shortened to allow magazine-fed WM+ rounds, but that doesn't mean I can't load some longer COL rounds to be manually fed.
