Gentlemen,

Look what I got hold of... some 450gn Hydro's!

I have been wanting to try these for ages so my friend Anthony George hooked me up with some and I can't wait to do some testing...


I loaded up 7 rounds (in some real cruddy looking cases!) with 75gn of BENCHMARK powder and I'm going to shoot them over the chronograph tomorrow. I'm hoping for around 2200fps...

My mag length means I'm limited to 3.340 COL and these are a long projectile, so if you don't like compressed loads these aren't your babies!
They're compressed!
Loaded long this wouldn't be such a problem and I'm tempted to try the 400gn Hydro's next in my rifle to see how they go. But I'm trying the 450's first and I reckon at 2200fps they will be just awesome against anything.

Stay posted guys and I'll let you know tomorrow how they go!

You'll probably never NEED a gun. In fact I hope you never do. BUT IF you do, you will probably need it worse than anything you've ever needed before in your life...
