I can't seem to upload a picture to this forum (due to size limitations) so if anyone is interested in seeing one recovered from a sand trap, fired at sub velocities. Here's a link to a picture I posted on another forum recently. I've recovered several so far and they all look very consistent in performance.

I need to pay closer attention to posts. For quite some time, I've been waiting for something to come along that would encourage me to take my trusty steed out of the safe and go do a range report. Having re-read this and actually following the link, it occurred to me that" how often do you see a jacketed .452 bullet that is so heavy, come along?" Though I'm a fast and light fan in this caliber, it would be interesting to see how these perform. Having now retired, there is no more OT money to support my habit and most of my SS and pension checks are spoken for. I do get an allowance however. Though I just missed it, the next time Midway has free shipping, I will pick up a box and run them through their paces for sheets and grins. Would be interesting to use either 1680 or CFE Blk, both of which I have on hand. Never was impressed with 4227 for velocity with 300 grainers, so it sits in the powder cabinet.
FWW, you can model this in QuickLoad using the .458 Barnes 400gr Flat Nosed Spire Point and simply adjusting the diameter down to .452. In that role, it looks like RL 10X is the best choice for case fill pursuing supersonic and Trailboss for subsonic, though I'm not sure if the 28k psi will cycle or not in the case of the latter. 1680 models well for supersonic also.
