.458 Woodleigh 480Gr.
Hello Gentlemen,
I would like to try the Woodleigh 480 gr. solid out of a 25"in. Bbl. .458 Win.Mag.
Searching through the Internet I found no loading information.If anyone could direct
me to what loading manuals have data for these bullets it would be much appreciated.

Also, What would be the maximum safe velocity I can expect? Anyone who has
taken any chronograph readings could you possibly post them.

Thankyou

Assuming that a 500 gr. bullet gets you 2150 fps, then you should get about 2190 fps with the 480 gr. bullet.

I would assume that the same charge for the 500 gr. bullet would be a good starting charge for the 480 gr. bullet.
