Anyone out there have any loading data for the .458 Win Mag with the 350 and 400 grain Barnes "X" bullets? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks!!!

The Maz:

I have a load worked up for my 458 win mag with a 350 gr. Barnes "X" Bullet that produces one hole at 50 yards.

Case: Remington
Primer: 215M
Powder: IMR 3031
Charge: 74.0 gr
Bullet: 350 gr Barnes "X"
Velocity: 2416 fps
COAL: 3.315"

Shoots in the same hole at 50 yards with fixed 4 power scope. Shot it last week to check scope (gun sling swivel broke and dropped the gun). The only "safe" backdrop I had was the backside of an uprooted tree stump. I dug the bullet out and measured penetration. An amazing 16" of penetration into red clay and shale mix. I was impressed. Will also shoot through a 10" poplar tree.
