450 gr. TSX load offers a growng bullet that enters deep enough to handle Cape Buffalo.
- All copper 450 gr. bullet has more length than standard lead-based cup-core types of 500 grs.
- Due to the longer bullet and modest powder space, seated length lowers powder space and speed a tad.
- That trade-off pays off, as TSX bullet end results are unmatched by other growng types.
- Shorter lead-based 450 gr. bullets often reach near 2,200 fps wth 458 Wn. Mag.
- Current load makes 2,140 fps from 18- nch barrel.
- Extra powder could push to 2,200 fps, but heavy powder pressng wth seated bullet not preferred.
- Load uses a modest press, not a heavy one.
