460 XVR load and results
Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 12:19 am
Anyone else here loading for the 460?
After checking local shops and on-line sources, I decided I could not afford to shoot this treasure of a gun without reloading for it. So on-line I went, securing powder, brass and bullets for the workups.
I have been doing load workups for mine for a couple of weeks now.
So far - best accuracy with 240gr Hornady XTP-MAG bullets, Remington Large Rifle Magnum primers, 48.1gr of W296
Hardest hitting (hold on tight!) 300gr Hornady XTP-MAG bullets, Remington Large rifle magnum primers, 42.5gr W296
Anyone else loading this? What powders and bullets are you using? I want to get the best load possible before hunting season starts!
