450 NE reloading data

[Saverio]

Hi everybody, I am looking for reloading data for 450 NE with Vihtavuori 140 amd160. Any suggestions? Thanks, Saverio

Given I have a Rigby 450 NE DR, I ran Quick Load for you. Attached are the readouts for both 140 and 160 powder. Please note the following: I did not have the 485 grain so I used the 500 grain bullets. The 160 was the clear winner to me given I could get 2082 FPS with almost a 95% fill rate meaning you do not need fillers although I love to use them for my RL15.5 powder. Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot! Very useful for me because it is the first time I reload this caliber. By chance is it possible with Quick Load to find data for a 400 grains bullet? I would like to use for wild boar here in Europe…
