Check Graf & Sons and Midsouth Shooters Supply for bullets.

In old surplus ammo - corrosive primers?

And I concur on no black powder in a modern powder measure !! Too high of a chance of static igniting the entire measure.

Using jacketed bullets, there is no way to include a black powder type lube to keep the fowling soft (other than lube "cookies", a topic totally outside this discussion). Without that lube, the fowling will harden very quickly, making for a very short shot string and a very difficult cleanup.

Mark Mark, you need to go to the Bullseye L web site and review their sticky "Loads of the top shooters". Several things should become obvious. Preferred powders are Bullseye, VV N310 and WST. They never use plated bullets and very few beveled base bullets. And finally, accuracy testing...

For my factory 210A, 147gr (Hornady or Zero) have always out grouped other weights. I don't have access to a mechanical rest, but have gotten 2.35" 50yd groups off of bags.

Maybe just put a handful in a freezer ziplock bag with a dash of White Label Lube 45-45-10, roll around a little then pour out onto foil or parchment in a pan, let dry then load and shoot. Might work. Just an idea.

Be careful ! A fact discovered when much younger and dumber, low velocity round balls fired against metal or wooden target backers will allow them to constantly bounce back at the shooter.

The big factories do not use over-the-counter canister grade powders. They buy by the ton and adjust the charge by lab pressure and velocity. At times they may even change suppliers (brands) between between ammo lots. Guessing powder amounts and types in factory ammo is fruitless.

Look up White Label Lube paying special attention to their stick lubes for the 450. I have come to prefer their 45-45-10 lube to replace Lee Liquid Alox. Dries harder and far less sticky.

Find a copy of Ken Waters "Pet Loads" for the .458. His load with Reloder 7 has been great for me and a friend. Very accurate and good velocity.

Check Bear Creek Supply. They swage a 265gr original shape hollow base just for the .455.

A mind is a terrible thing to lose!

Sorry about your Charter. Bear Creek Supply offers swaged 205, 235 and 240gr. 44s. Can't get much softer. For club competition, I used to shoot Speer swaged 240gr in Special cases over 4.5 grains of Bullseye. Almost recoilless.

Check Zero swaged HBWC from Roze Distribution. Accurate and available.

Should you ever consider selling your own reloads, be aware that when you put them into "commerce" by selling them your are then required to be licensed by ATF as a manufacturer with appropriate liability insurance coverage. You will then be subject to occasional, unannounced visits from your...

Handloader magazine, Oct/Nov 2021, Pet Loads, 357 Sig should answer all of your questions.

Another possibility. Often tube fed rifles react to being rest directly on sandbags. Try gripping the forearm with the off hand then resting that hand on the bags. Many guns show good improvement in grouping ability with this technique. It costs nothing to try.

Call the folks at ET Brass. They seem to be able to come up with 86gr 25-20 bullets on occasion.
