Got the Codwell for mine (actually bought two), but it won't work on my brothers because his has a reciprocating charge handle.
Any recommendations for his?

After trying several loads (and confirming repeatability) with the Hornady 160 FTX (LE, Varget, and 3031), the best consistent load would only produce 2.230" five shot group at...

You got a smile from me for the statement of went with 458 but indicated you have a 450 BM. I chose the 450 BM because it was in a bolt gun on the shelf at a good price until I can find a decent...
