458 Lott reloading data using S335 500gr peregrine vrg3

Here is my data from Peregrine website for the 458 Lott giving max and min loads. At the bottom are my personal loads that I have tried while working up a load with the copper Peregrine VRG 3 solid and expanding. As always, work up your own loads. My choice is Vihtavuori 133 and second choice would be VV 135. I stuggle to get a consistent supply of powder so have had to change to what I can get. You will also see my loads are around 2200 fps and not pushing the boundaries of velocity or recoil. I havent tried S335. The Peregrines seem to perform better with fast powders, I suspect because the driving bands produce less resistance to the bullet passing down the barrel. S321 is better than S335, VV 133 better than 135 and VV530 is better than 540. Sorry about the editing but I tried to paste direct and it was a mess so have attached a pdf.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
