What's the max i can use with this bullet? These Lehigh bullets seem to shoot even better the faster i push them. I dont know if it's because of the Brass or not. But how much N120 can i use safely? rbinar had me shooting 65grns with a 250grn bullet that's why i'm asking. It seems i might be at the max now with a 300grn bullet.

Grouse,
Usually 62g of N120 is about the max before sabots start to blow. If you want more speed with the 300g .458 bullets, then H4198 is your ticket. 67g should get you around 2400 fps and 70g will get you around 2500. RB has said that 70g is a safe load with H4198 but your shoulder might not think so. I've shot that load and it thumps. 67g H4198 was my prefered load with the Barnes Original paired with the Harvester Black Crush Rib sabot @ 2400 fps.
