Thanks guys, I have three different bullets loaded and ready for testing (when I get my scope mounted and a free weekend) In all three cases I have backed off max and loaded three incrementally heavier powder charges under each bullet type. In all three cases my max load is still 1-2 grains below Max recommended. I will chrono these loads and use that data and Quickloads as a guide to approach my desired velocity.
For plinking I am hopefully I can get some Precision Delta 230gr FMJ shooting decent enough to ring some 8 and 10 inch steel plates at 150 maybe 200 yards
For hunting I really do like heavy for caliber/cartridge bullets, hence my attempts to use the 300gr XTP/MAG in 450BM. I have used the 300gr XTP/MAG before combine with a sabot in my muzzle loader for deer hunting with good results. So if they don't shoot well in my 450BM I will use them up in my muzzle loader. Can you guys suggest some other heavy >240gr bullet to try in 450BM?
