True. Hard to beat it. Many come close in the versatile .458 WinMag. One way that BENCHMARK might be superior is in ThermoBallisticIndependence (TBI), if that matters.
The BENCHMARK loads will be of interest mainly for establishing whether a given rifle is a fast one or a slow one for whatever the ambient temperature is that day. The BENCHMARK loads will be benchmark loads, pun intended. Will have to be 3.340" COL and with a MAP about 60,000 psi by best SWAG. No .458 Lott pressures and COLs allowed for the benchmark loads with BENCHMARK.
After that I will have to get back to beating the SAAMI .458 Lott with the .458 WM+. Maybe even a .458 Watts Express 2.7" if I ever succumb to wildcatting madness again.
