Has anyone tried these in a .458 Win Mag? I have used them in my 1895 Marlin chambered .45/70 with a healthy dose of IMR 3031. Seems like they would make for an inexpensive "plinking load" in the Win Mag.

Nope. But I’ll try almost anything once. I don’t see why they wouldn’t work for a plinking round? I have some Speer 350gr Hot Cores I’m loading now, but if the price was right for those bullets I’d try them?

If you guys like a plinking load you should try 15 grains of trail boss behind a 405 grain lead bullet. It goes off like a pop gun.

Speaking of varmint loads for the .458 WM, I’ve seen “frangible” bullets available on Midway USA in .458. Can you imagine hitting a prairie dog mound with one of those bullets?

About 1100 FPS if I recall. It’s made specifically for lead bullets. It takes up so much space they only 9oz in a standard 1lb bottle

Hello,
Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
