Just curious the 458 imp does it close to 460 styer in velocities ?

Also not many bullets for that type of gun, what have you shot out of it?

Thanks ! !

Started on this wildcats a about 4 years ago and i haven't had a chance to switch barrels to do any testing.
The plan was by increasing the shoulder angle to 35 degrees, i would be able to nearly match the Steyr case capacity with the commercially available 416 Barret brass, thus eliminating the high cost and availability of the Steyr cases.
If it doesn't go here i'm goig to go ahead and start doing some preliminary testing this summer.
Here is pic of the three cartridges.
The 416 has a 24 degree shoulder angle.

what bullet are you shooting? What velocity? What types of groups are you shooting?
