Yes, SSK for B&M proprietary.
Yes, it is funny, in a good way.
I expect to do about 2300 fps with the 404gr
Shock Hammer from the ~17" barrel,
with same powder charge
that does about 2500 fps in a 24" .458 WM+.

That will make this .458 B&M+ give about same velocity at 200 yards as the .458 WM+ does at 300 yards.
+1900 fps impact for pretend 300-yard impact on Bambi at 200 yards.
The short-barrel handicap is about about 100 yards
for plains game.

For DG at spitting distance there is no handicap at all
if the 400-gr Brass FN can do 2300 fps MV
from the 17" barrel.
Now that's funny !
