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

My suggestion for the 450-gr CEB Safari Solid, 420-gr CEB Raptor is same bullet with 30-gr of HP removed at meplat:

This load ought to be just a wee bit over 2250 fps in a 20″ barrel,
and it is only a wee bit over 3.340″ COL: 3.360″ COL.
If you were using a .458 Lott, it would require a heavier powder charge and have more recoil to get it that fast,
and as Michael said, you don’t need it any faster.
This was my starting load and my only .458 WM+ load with this bullet:





20″ velocity estimate, about 2275 fps.
Maybe increasing the COL from 3.360″ to 3.370″ or even 3.380″ would slow it down to 2250 fps, HEH HEH.

Now getting ready for some 400-gr CEB Safari Solid to go with the 404-gr Shock Hammer ...
