And getting right near 2300 fps MV, great load, Sir John.
Works in any standard aught-six-length mag box I know of.
Loading longer COL you have to add more powder and pay the price.

2300 fps MV with a 450-grain CEB brass FN zips through elephant or 10 feet of bison,
when shot inside of 50 yards.
(I am guesstimating 5 feet of MIB test medium equals 10 feet of bison,
from tail to throat.)

A 450-gr TSX at 2300 fps Mv would be a longer range option,
almost as good as a 404-gr Shock Hammer at 2500 fps MV,
maybe 2600 fps MV to push the envelope.
