Varget just doesn't have good velocities with 75gr or bigger bullets. I've got over a case of it.
The 458 is really fun to shoot. 100rds in a bag is a heavy bag. And its fun to see a mag that used to hold 30rds become a 10rd mag.Picked up another 100 Starline .458 SOCOM brass and 100 350gr Hornady soft points. Time for another application of Oink-B-Gone to the ranch.
Why push it? Take what you have and run with it. Just my opinion though, of course.Picked up a lb of H4831 last week so I loaded up some .270 with 140 grain SST’s, and ran them across the chrono. I loaded right up to about 1 grain below max, and was getting 1/2” groups averaging 2,980 FPS. No pressure signs at all, so I’m gonna load up a few more, working up to the max charge and see if I can keep the groups tight and get a few more FPS.
