Amazing


Cant wait to see/read what it does on truly heavy game [read Cape Buffalo] it's going to have to be a World Star to better the 450gr TSX at 2463 fps from my 458 WM+



I have some 416 Shock Hammer bullets and Micheal458 AKA MIB said that they will out penetrste the 350 grain TSX



Good to know and comparing apples and oranges i know, but a .585" 750gr TSX from my 577 Nitro double at only 2076 fps went into a Tanzanian Cape Buffalo at last left side rib at 16 yards to be found as a lump under the hide on the front of the right shoulder, at the shot the bull collapsed and began his death bellow as i moved quickly left to give him a solid through both shoulders.

If the 400/403gr Hammers will do that as i believe the 450gr TSX's most certainly will you guys will have a truly amazing projectile. smile


Sir Jerry,
I have trailed Doc M's ".458 Terminals" thread and found no 450-gr/.458 TSX testing.
Maybe someday he will get big-bored enough to do it.
I would be happy to supply him with both 450-gr and 500-gr TSX bullets and see if he would do them at the velocities that the .458 WM+ is capable of.
He has a .458 B&M EX ("Express/Extra") that would be able to equal the mighty .458 WM+ most likely,
without having to re-throat it, heh heh.
I will offer to supply the bullets to him and suggest ~2400 fps for the 450-grainer and ~2300 fps for the 500-grainer,
close enough to your loads:

The 400-gr Shock Hammer might be for us with less chest hair than the 450-gr TSX shooters of the .458 WM+.
Both bullets will gitterdunn.
I'll post the above picture at his forum, if allowed, to try egging him on.
