Could someone run a quickload calc?

[browningguy]

I've been too forgetful to buy quickload and want to work up some loads for a .458 Winchester Mag using Speer 400 gr. SP bullets with Reloader 7 powder. I have loads for 300 gr. bullets, and 500 gr. bullets, but not 400's.

I'm thinking of starting at 64 gr. and working up, could anyone give me an idea of pressure and velocity through a 24" barrel. I really only want around 2200 fps, a soft load for a coyote hunt.

Thanks,

64 grns of RL7 for a 400 grn bullet is around 52klbs
64 grns of RL7 for a 500 grn bullet is around 83klbs
64 grns of RL7 for a 350 grn bullet is around 45klbs and gives a velocity of 2374 fps.

Please treat these as "round numbers" and work up carefully.
