Barnes .458 450 Grain/500 Grain
Anyone know the (or able to measure) overall length of the Barnes 450 grain banded solid and the 500 grain banded solid? Just trying to see how the length of the 450 grain Barnes compares to the length of a lead core solid like the Woodleigh. Thanks.

Mike, my Barnes 450gr Flat Nose Banded Solids are 1.375in, versus the Woodleigh 500gr solids at 1.395in.

You didn't ask but you better make sure the Flat Nose bullets feed. They won't in my 458. They are really ideal for the SxS though!

Bill C., thanks, just what I was looking for.

Bill S., yep, I have had that problem with Barnes banded solids before. What about others, experience with feeding problems with Barnes banded solids in a .458?
