Specifications woven into your load

At the full 500 grain weight, these Cutting Edge Bullets 500gr bring the highest sectional density in the common .458 lineup, which is exactly what you want for deep penetration on the heaviest bone and muscle. The banded body reduces bearing surface and barrel strain, a real benefit given the recoil these loads produce, while the BBW#13 meplat keeps the wound channel straight and deep. A 20 count box is a sensible amount for developing and confirming a heavy dangerous game load.

Because the meplat profile has tested to give the deepest penetration to date, this heavy solid is a serious tool for the largest animals on earth. The classic 500 grain weight also lets you match many factory load recipes and duplicate the trajectory hunters already know.

Practical use, care, and compatibility

Work up your load from current .458 data, and since banded solids run differently than conventional bullets, verify seating depth, feeding, and pressure carefully. Confirm your twist stabilizes the heavy bullet and test feeding in your specific rifle before you count on it. A sure, smooth feed is priceless on a dangerous game gun.

Store the box dry and boxed to protect the machined nose. Pair these with brass, primers, and storage from the rest of our reloading components and gear. Bullets from Cutting Edge Bullets are a component and not a firearm.
