Having just acquired a .458 Win., I am looking for suggestions for a starting/plinking load to build my tolerance and familiarity with this rifle.
Any suggestions as to powder and charge weight? I am not opposed to using Dacron as a filler, but have no experience with using it. My thought is to use as bulky a powder as possible to fill the case without reaching pressure levels that make shooting too uncomfortable. Although I have been a handloader for 35 years, loading straight cases is somewhat new to me.
Don't get me wrong! I'm not particularly recoil sensitive, but I want to do this right so I will end up being confident with this rifle.
Thanks, suggestions from all you experienced big bore shooters will be appreciated!
