Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Reduced loads...450BM and 358win

Any new bullet or powder info available? RZ.

"A 158 or 180 was kinda what I was thinking. Just need a powder to get 1600-1800ish"

If you go this route with a 158xtp, be sure you use the "FN" version. It's designed for this velocity. These work great on deer.

I have some 180 xtps but haven't tried them.

I download the 450 for my dad and daughters. I load the Barnes 200 gr XPB (30554) with 5744 to about 2200fps. The light bullet reduces recoil and the load is very accurate. I have never recovered a bullet and it does considerable damage.
