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

"Norma Swift" factory load with 500-gr A-Frame was chronographed.
I sure am glad I never bought a Lab Radar.
Excuse was that I had not destroyed all my optical chrono's yet.
Now when that happens I am going for a Garmin Xero.
Speaking of cash, at five bucks per pop, one round dissected and 9 rounds fired is fifty bucks.
I blame the Swift A-Frame for not living up to 2116 fps MV.
They are either slower or develop higher pressure if velocity is achieved.
Apparently the .457" diameter of this bullet does not get the MV advertised.
Heck of a good bullet otherwise.
G1 BC = 0.361



That was shot with the Ruger1 No. 1, Miss Daisy, 24", 1:14" twist. 50 yard target.
She is not slow.
Nine shots of Swift produced some copper fouling of note.
Had to sight my deer rifle with the Hammer bullet today too.
Used Freki for that so as not to mix the fouling.



The 2600 fps long COL loads are fun in Freki too, seems to be her accuracy node with the 404-gr Shock Hammer.
