A good friend (who sold off all his reloading stuff years ago) just bought Will's 450 NE Sabatti from the AR classifieds. I am going to load for him, and am just looking for whatever you 450 guys might have cooked up for these bullets. All things considered, I'd prefer to avoid using filler. | ||

Start out with a load for a 480 gr and you should be close. | |||

I sold a 500-450 recently and have a bunch of reloads for it. The bullets are 480 grains IIRC. Also have the reloading dies.....Can you use any of it???? | |||

If avoiding filler is a requirement, then a slow powder such as IMR 4831. Charge will be somewhere in the 90-95 grains depending on the rifle with a heavier bullet of 480-500 grains. For a 450-grain bullet, a bit more powder maybe, but you will have to do a bit of load adjusting for regulation.

Cal is right on the 450NE 3 1/4 inch! That is a good starting point with either bullet. I like to stick with the original bullet weight in a double rifle simply because the vintage doubles were always regulated with the 480 gr bullet so that is what I have always used. I like the H-4831sc powder rather than the longer cut H-4831. The sc powder also runs through a powder measure of trickler better. ...........................................................................  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Thanks, guys! Oddly, I called Hornady today, fishing for info. They sent me data for their 480 DG bullets, and it shows a max load for IMR4831 of 88.5gr for a velocity of 2100. I spoke with Butch Searcy and he suggested 96gr of IMR4831, which is consistent with the numbers suggested here. The Graeme Wright book lists 95gr for a 480gr Woodleigh. It looks like working up will be the order of the day. The Hornady data looks like an outlier. | |||
