Hello. I just got my hands on a box of 600grs. Barnes Orginal -bullets for my 460wby. Do any of you have some loads for this bullet? (I would really appreciate some loads with european powder, or maybe Reloader.) ![]() Have any of you had any problem stabilize these bullets in this caliber? I'd like some field experience too, if any of you have any. Ray?? ![]() *Treat problems like a dog; Take a sniff ..... If it can't be killed, eaten, or fucked?

I feel the big case of the .460 should be ideal for the 600 gr bullet and it would solve the to much speed issue. | |||

Arild, Steves data is good but I didn't see any velocities with it. The Hodgdon Manual has some data for the Barnes Original RNSP .458/600gr bullet: H4831 110.0gr 2302 fps H4831 115.0gr 2457 fps H4350 98.0gr 2292 fps H4350 104.0gr 2439 fps H414 102.0gr 2369 fps H414 105.0gr 2419 fps Long ago I used 100.0 grains of IMR-4350 in the Wby brass with F-215 primer and got about 2300 fps and 2" three-shot groups at 100 yards. Nice thumper. I reckon you could start at 100.0 grains of Norma 204, RL-19, or VVN550 and get about 2250 to 2300 fps, and work up to about 2450 fps, in a standard Weatherby freebored chamber with 24 to 26 inch barrel. | |||

Thats my man!! Thanks RIP, just what I was looking for!! ![]() I've tried 112grains of Norma MRP, but the loads are heavily compressed. But I havent chronographed that load yet. I would love to have a 2400 f/s load. *Treat problems like a dog; Take a sniff ..... If it can't be killed, eaten, or fucked? Just pie on it, and walk on!:-) Arild. | |||

Now I've shot some slugs over the chrony, and got these numbers: 460wby, 26" barrel. 600grs. Barnes Orginal.(COL=94,5mm): 112grs. MRP (Heavily compressed load)=2215f/s. 98grs. N150 = 2240f/s. 100grs. N150= 2296f/s. 102grs. N150= 2351f/s. The recoil is starting to be noticable! ![]() *Treat problems like a dog; Take a sniff ..... If it can't be killed, eaten, or fucked?
