Apologies, I meant I won't be able to use this rifle here in Illinois with a saboted bullet. Only sabotless with the .44 caliber minimum restriction.
BarnesAddict, thank you for that link. I had already come across a couple of pages from that Dougs Message Board doing some Googling. I got a little deeper with that link and found a couple of posts with pressure and speed calculations from quick load. Lots of good information on there so thank you.
Gm54_120, thanks to you too. I already had Parkers in mind and Lehigh bullets are on the whitetail hunting list. The old man got Alex on them and I have seen the results of their use. Not to mention Alex has a couple hundred of .458 caliber 220 grain. I don't imagine I will be shooting anything further that 200 to 250 yards at most with more than likely 100 yard shots being the normal range. He always taught me to get as close as possible. He'd always say nature has a way of farting a gust of wind right when you shoot at a long range target. Man had a descriptive way with words no doubt.
