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

From early on in this thread, page 4:



Eastwood Ford Light Blue powder-coat paint,
hard alloy pushed through 0.460" sizer makes a 0.461" diameter bullet, optimal in 0.458" to .459" groove diameter .458 WinMag.
Two very accurate loads, PC painted and pushed through a 0.460" sizer (Lee or CH4D),
the base pusher rod installs the gas check with the easy sizing pass, no lube except the powder-coat paint.
Scope is zeroed for the heavy bullet at 100 yards, and then the lighter bullet is dead-on at 200 yards.

That light bullet can be loaded to 2500 fps but is not as accurate, it strings vertically, but does not lead the barrel,
PC paint and gas check foul very little.
Good cheap bullet for practice with the feel of 400-gr and 404-gr solid and soft at 2500 fps.

From page 5:
Harbor Freight Red powder-coat paint, hard alloy PC-painted and pushed through 0.460" sizer
makes a most accurate 0.461"-diameter boolitt for the SAAMI .458 WinMag.





I have many more boolitts and loads yet to be tried, and more trial with favorites need doing.
Going to the range on April Fools' Day.
Cheers for Saint Patricks Day today !
