Q: Could you recommend some reloads for my Model 70 .458 Winchester Magnum? I want to load the 300gn Sierra HP/FN to approximately 2400 to 2500fps muzzle velocity. This would make my .458 a deadly pig gun out to 150 metres.Howard PetersonA: With the 300gn bullet a load of 67gn of AR2207 should give you the kind of velocity you're looking for, and should really ream out the largest boar from stem to stern. Loading your big bore magnum down is an excellent way to increase its utility and keep you familiar with it.
The late Nick Harvey (1931-2024) was one of the world's most experienced and knowledgeable gun writers, a true legend of the business. He wrote about firearms and hunting for about 70 years, published many books and uncounted articles, and travelled the world to hunt and shoot. His reloading manuals are highly sought after, and his knowledge of the subject was unmatched. He was Sporting Shooter's Technical Editor for almost 50 years. His work lives on here as part of his legacy to us all.
