I'm hoping someone might have some reloading data for some North Fork 458Lott information on their 450gr SP bullets. I have emailed them for the information, no response. It's been 3 weeks and would like to have a good starting point. Heck I need to make sure I have the correct powder.

I have no problem using Barnes TSX reloading data and working my way up.

Thank you in advance.
 
Wish I could contribute but I'm just going to pull up a chair to this campfire so I can listen in...
 
Well I'm going to start with this information. It will be next week before I can start. Will update on findings.

Hi
Sorry that we didnt answer you. I cant find any email about 458 lott in our system. Were did you send that email?
For 458 lott we have the following loaddata right now. We work to have some more in the future.

Warning: These loads are not valid with substitutions of different bullets of the same weight. Variations in bullet material and length will alter net case capacity, pressure and velocity results. Primer selection is specific and primer types are not interchangeable. This data represents load development in our firearms and test equipment and may easily differ in other rifles. All loads should be reduced by 8%, and developed following safe handloading practices as represented in established reloading manuals produced by component manufacturers. If you are unfamiliar with proper reloading techniques, please have our bullets loaded by an experienced company.

Have always found North Fork (Reloading International) to be helpful. They are in the buisness to stay has been my un associated opinion.
Good info but now would ask for the info on a 500 gr bullet in the 458 Lott.

Would you provide reloading info on your 500 gr bullets in the 458 Lott. Thanks
 
Something you should take note of and change on the data.......

Under the 300 NF Premium Soft... SS and the 325 NF CPS...... I am seeing only "4198" listed, it should list as H-4198....... Do not confuse with IMR......... The powder used is H-4198.............
 
So IMR4895 82gr seems to shoot well with the 450gr.

2338fps avg and stacking up.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
