That is like $2.65 per bullet. But that is nothing when they are worth their weight in diamonds. It will be easy to develop a loads with COL minimum of 3.24" to 3.54" that will run from 2400 fps to 2600 fps MV. You can run them at 3.34" COL and +2400 fps working through the standard .30-06-length magazine box, or load them long, single-shot-style, and they will still eject from the unaltered factory SAAMI .458 WinMag at up to 3.54" COL.
G1 BC estimate of 0.419
Those PDR bands by Hammer make for low drag. Will test at 2500 fps MV out to 600 yards to see if drop is close to what that BC predicts. Maybe get a young technofriend with Lab Radar on it too.
Man that'll work Sir Ron, here is where i believe the AA-2230 powder will shine, in my guesstimated mind on a set and forget hunting scope i took the middle number of 2500 fps, +3 at 100 should zero around 210 yards and be 8 or 9 inches low at 300 yards, bullet should still be packing near 1800 fps and may be a little more than 2 feet low at 400 yards, with a Mil or MOA twist em up scope like a Nightforce or Bushnell LRTS hits to 500+ yards would be cake, good work Sir.
