If so, I'd appreciate your thoughts on a few things. Gun is a like-new S&W 460 XVR, 5" barrel. I have a ton of reloading experience and all the gear, but this will be my first foray into handgun reloading.
I'd like to focus on the .300 grain Wide Flat-Nose bullet from Lehigh (or comparable) and keep the pressures down a bit to avoid any issues with flame cutting, erosion, etc. This gun will go to Alaska and Glacier NP for anti-bear duty, hence the heavy load.
- What are optimal powders in the .300 grain range?
- What die set do you recommend? Carbide or no?
- Any thoughts on case-mouth crimping (profile or Lee FCD)?
Thanks so much!
