70 to 74 grains of 2206H depending on how much you can fit in wiyhout compressing it too much Winchester cases hold more powder.

2206h is an ADI powder - Australian made .

I have emailed you a link to the ADI website and their calibre listings. There is a cross-referance chart in there as well - many ADI powders are sold as Hodgdon powder in the USA. the chart shows the comparisons with others for compatability.

You must have some big bears up there huh?

Great link Muzza. I sold my 416 Rigby and now have 2 .458 WM one Brno602 which i am trying to sell as i also traded for a 19" barreled Whitworth a handy little bush gun. The 602 really should be a Lott cause the action is long. We have a few big bruins around for sure but the .458 is great because it seems to be made for cast bullets and plinking. I found some of the Woodleighs and just had to try them.I just finished a bunch of cast loads and if the snow stops i might make it to the range today.Dan
