Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

Highly anticipated, the 400- to 405-gr Hammer FN solid will be so much better and an easy handloading task
to match velocity to the 404-gr Shock Hammer.
Can be used at 1800 fps to 2500 fps for Lever Action .45-70 to Bolt Action .458 WinMag.
Seated deep in the SAAMI .45-70 Gov't., PDR bands "all in."
Seated shallowly in the SAAMI .458 WinMag, PDR bands "all out."
Well, more out than in.
2 or 3 PDR bands near base of bullet will be in.
This allows greater room for a 101% net fill with AA-2230.
That's impossible with the peculiar band structure of the CEB FN bullets.
They recommend minimum of two bands inside the case,
and when those two bands are near a half inch apart, it is not ideal, except for COL-challenged cartridges.
