Default Nosler Partitions and BH 209

I shoot .458 300 grain NP and just purchased some BH 209 to try. I also use the MMP OrangeSabots and Winchester 209 primers or either CCI 209 primers. I got great accuracy from the T7 2f in 100 grains previously, but all the talk of BH 209 makes me want to give it a shot. Has anyone tried this load with BH 209 and got any suggestions on what charge I should try?

Oh yeah, T/C Encore 26" barrel.
Thanks in advance!

formula1

I shoot the same sabot/projectile with 110 grains of T7-2f in all my inlines except the White and the Knght - both of them get 120 grains.

A week or so ago - I did take the Omega out and did some shooting with both powders - I loaded the normal 110 gr of T7 and weighed loads of 75 grain (110 grains) of Bh-209. I had planned on getting some chrono readings for both from the Omega but the plan did not work as my tri-pod failed.

In the end I shot both powders and the both shot appoximately the same place on the paper and they both shot approximately the same shooting clay pigeons placed @ 100 yards.

BH works best in the Triumph, the Pro Hunter and the Endover the reason has to do with the breach plug.
In my opinion each gun and person has certain shooting capabilities the question of what will shot best can only be answered if said person has not reached the limit of his or her capabilities before trying this. Lee
