Sir Dennis,

Agreed !
I start the next page with a perfect bullet for the .458 WInMag,
It is a 525-gr FNGC of .461" diameter and about 1950 fps MV,
cast in 92-5-2-1 alloy that is 25 BHN when water-dropped,
softens to about 21 BHN with PC-painting,
and is sized to .461" as the gas check is applied.
It gets harder with age over a month, and returns to BHN 25.
It is not brittle like Linotype, and it is harder and heavier than Linotype.
Might work for Sir Spruce for deer load at 1400-ish fps with 36 gr of AA-5744,
or be as satisfying as his 510-gr RNSP at 2000 fps, if loaded with 65 gr of AA-2230.
