Sir Ron, many Thanks, and yessir, the 500gr TBSS at 2360+ is a 500 grain world beater in my 458 WM+, that load should easily provide a complimentary tracheotomy to a fleeing cape buff shot in the tail pipe, this fall we may find out should i be able to find a 40 inch old hard bossed bull, and man you're good, my 1881 saeco .458" bullets to indeed weigh 508gr at 16-1 alloy, with 20 or 30-1 they'd weigh 510-515gr, not to sidetrack this great thread, but i wanted all those benefits for my 50 cal 22 twist Sharps rifles, may even have math cat buddy scale back to 40 cal for my 40-90 2-5/8ths SBN, that slug may weigh around 390-400gr at 16-1.
A great holiday casting session to break the monotony of hurry up and wait, hurry up and dont be late, hurry up then be stuck in a house with 60 people and 85 degree temps, lord have mercy on me! over eating, sometimes two times daily with family and friends is just what the Doc ordered, for me to only loose one bullet out of the 105 i cast was GREAT!, lost none to weight variances and the one under the glass that had a bit of trash in the groove, needed a hundred, now have 104?
Hope you had a great casting session with your 458-461+ and 357's, and thank the lord the holidays are behind us.
