would like a slow burning powder load data for my 450 Rigby with 350 gr. Barne x bullet
tried it with Reloader 7 at 70 gr. and gave me 2230 fps but I am near bas

I have Reloader 22 would that do. looking for 2500 fps

How was the recoil with RL7 70gr & 350gr TSX?

I'm trying to set up a load similar to what you're trying to achieve in 450 Rigby & get 2500 fps or so with the 350gr TSX. Hendershots loads it to 2700 fps so 2500 fps should be easily attainable with the right powder.

I've had good luck with 108gr H-4350 & 500gr Swift A-Frames but the recoil is ferocious even with a brake.

I'm wanting to set up this load for a Brown Bear hunt (still researching outfitters). It may be worth giving Barnes or Hendershots a call or extrapolating data from 460 Wby in Barnes manual. I don't have Quickloads software but I'm betting it would be useful. Anyway, if I discover anything meaningful I'll pass it along.
