[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1289647, member: 2736"] . I have shot the 200 grain flex tip at indoor ranges and they are very manageable. I have also compared the bullet weights and energy's and found a good compromise that I am trying to use that should perform well on anything that could be hunted. The 200 grain bullets can be loaded to over 2300 ft/lbs energy. The 300 grain can be loaded to 2700 ft/lbs of energy. Bullets in the 350 grain class will reach 2900 ft/lbs of energy but are for the most part unmanageable to some shooters. the 395 grain bullets are just plain mean no matter how tough you are. So it looks like the 300 grain will be the best all round bullet for what I want, and that's what I want to work on at the moment. I have also looked at the 325 grain bullets and they offer only more recoil and very little increase in energy. I have also found that the magnum bullets work best because lots of the .452 diameter bullets are not strong enough (jackets are to thin) for the 460 and intended for use in lighter 454 loads and the 45 long colts. Any load suggestions are welcome and appreciated. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
