.458 300gr combined technology bullet in savage ML11

[AP218]

Has anyone tried the combined technology .458 300gr bullet in a savage smokeless powder ml? Also I am currently shooting 250xtp with 42g of N110. Since N110 in very hard to come by I am considering changing. I prefer something that will help in the longer distances. Any thought?

I have shot Accurate 5744, RL7, Vht N110,and Vht. N 120. Accurate 5744 is okay with 250 and 300 grain bullets. RL7 works with 300gr., but my best velocities are with N120 with bullets of 300 gr. The Vihtavouri powders are very difficult to find.

I have not tried Combined technology bullets. My personal load is with a Barnes Original Semi-Spitzer of 300 grains. I have worked with Harvester PT Gold on another smokeless ml. also a 300 gr. load.
