458 Lott load dada needed
I was wondering if anybody else uses IMR4320 in there 458 Lott. I loaded some solids with 85gr of this powder. Shot 3 of them to get the velocity. It seemed like a very powerful load.
I was thinking it might be to hot. What do you think?

Yeah, it sorta does. I've got an Encore pistol barrel (long enough to be brush rifle legal) for it that I shoot as a pistol so it shouldn't even be mentioned in rifle-land.

Anything under 75mm is "small caliber", right?

Cool

I think I'm glad to be a looong way from Delaware when you shoot that.

Maybe you could give it to Joe Bidin?
