with that heavy slug would there be enough speed speed on it to get any thing out of the gas check,

I sized down a 458-340 Lee for a rimless version .
Of course you can't get a copy of my carefully reproduced example from Mountain Molds at .453-350 RNFP , it's a little longer .

All of the current 460 load data maxes out at 43-45kpsi with 250s .

I don't know what you'll be shooting this in but at about 1900 fps in a 16" 95 Mauser in a Boyds Prairie Hunter it stops being any fun at all .

It will be a S&W 8 3/8" revolver. You can for sure get enough powder in there to drive her pretty fast. I think once I find a mold I like I'll just go pc and send it. See what happens.

There was a group by from mp-mold for a 340gr solid, if this would be enough.
There is the result thread of this group buy http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?390690-Mihec-452-340-hp-solid

And here the link to the shop:

Solid: https://www.mp-molds.com/product/mp-45-340-solid-mold-multi-choice/

No, I'm not related to Mihec, but happy with his molds.
