dirklawyer458wm plinking loads
I would like to use some of the powder I have to make up some plinking loads, I'm using the 405 grain Remington bullets I would like to use some longer cut powder (fills the case better) I have some IMR 4350 and some IMR 4064 and I want the velocities to be around 1900fps any suggestions?

N E 450 No2From Lyman, 45th edition.
Starting loads 405 gr jacketed bullet;
IMR 4064 67 grains for 1949fs.
IMR 4350 72 grains for 1733fps.
MAX loads;
IMR 4064 74 grains for 2127fps.
IMR 4350 80 grains for 1923 fps.
Max loads were compressed.
I would prefer IMR 4064.
I always used IMR 3031 for the 458, because I always had a lot of it on hand.

swampshooterWhat about using Trail Boss for a reduced load. I haven't done it, but it should work real well.
