I shoot the .458/300 grain Nosler PP in a MMP sabot from all of my rifles. In fact that is the bullet that did the deed on the elk I shot this year @ 176 yards... it was great....

Here is a 100 yard target that I shot some time back.

Here is the ballistic information for 110 grains T7-2f as it went through my chrono...

At first I thought I did - it did pass all the way thru the body - but we found it the upper bone of the right front leg...

Here are the threads that describe the whole thing...

RE: .457-458 bullet loads
 

I saw the first thread but missed the second.

A bullet that holds together like that has got my vote all the way. Price be darned. I'll just shoot the cheapy's without changing scope settings for practise fire a few expensive ones for confirmation and a huntin I'll go.

It'll be interesting to see if the .458's chrony different from the .451 Noslers. Accuracy, I expect, will be similar.

I might have that information got to look in the library....

RE: .457-458 bullet loads
 

I saved my .451 load data chart. Once I get the .458's shot over the chrony we can compare notes.:D

I like to shoot over at 10 yds then again at 100 (if the load is accurate:() then compare the chrony numbers to the calculators numbers. If they're close (+/- 20/30 fps) I call it even.
