    Lil gun .458 Socom 405gr cast pc

    So loaded up some test rounds but data is in short supply, wondering if anyone can confirm my load is reasonable.
    Starline brass
    Cast .457 405gr fn.
    Powder coated.
    Seated 2085
    27, 28, 29, 30 gr lil gun.
    Think I may be a lil light on the powder but not crazy light.
    What's your thoughts.
    Yeah big bore AR is new to me want to keep it safe.
    Thanx

    I've pretty much settled on Re-7 for any bullets 400gr and up.

    The data I have for a 405gr bullet lists over 40 powders and Lilgun is not one of them. I primarily use IMR4198 for heavier cast in the .458socom. Also use Norma 200 and sometimes Ramshot TAC. If your charge is light you should be able to tell by the unburndt powder.

    The 30 grain load is 31,983 psi which is in the purple range and I would be cautious with but the other 3 look safe according to quickload.
    This country has gone to hell but now there is hope for us.
