Sunny, 50 degrees and no wind this am. Shot 54 to 56 grs of H 4198 under 195 gr Barnes MZ FB with harv smooth and CR, Win Primers all at 100 yrds. Groups opened up as I increased powder charge. Went back to 54 grs and shot a 1.086" group with blue CR and then a .928" group with the smooth blue that Boarhog sent me. I think I am set for this hunting season with 54 grs ;D Maybe after hunting season I will try another powder or Kick this load up to 60 grs and see if it closes up for me and does not hurt 
Tomorrow I am helping a hunting buddy set up his new CVA and I hope to shoot my 45 at 50 100, 150, 200 and 250 to see the bullet drop with just 54 grs of H 4198. Thanks again to all for all the help, Rusty ---------I keep forgetting that I am getting this consistent accuracy without having my Tuperware stock bedded OR the third pilar added. Can't wait to see what she will do after that has been done ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

As I stated above, my stock has not been bedded nor has the third pilar been installed. I am getting very good accuracy with this light load but when I increase it even to 56 grs very inconsistent. I was wondering is the extra kick, the extra torquing of the barrel and anything else EXTRA One gets with higher octane loads would have more effect on the stock not being bedded. I could have ask this question a different way. Is it more important to get a 460 mag bedded that a 22 mag, as far as consistent accuracy? I should not hijack my own thread
