African Grand Slam Tungsten cored Solids in 460 WBY

Has anyone loaded the tungsten carbide cored solid versions up to maximum in their 460 WBY? If you wouldn't mind sharing the details with me, especially where you began to encounter bolt stickiness or primer extrusion, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

I was told by a very well known and old PH that he used them in his .460 Wby and had several of them break in half...so he went to using monolithic solids...I trust his judgement...

I've used the Solids in the Lott and 458 WM with good success, but they were at less than 460 velocities.

That's sobering. Especially given their price. Thanks for the data!

I don't believe it.
