I am gonna try some barnes 460 s & w .451 275gr bullets with reloader 7 and vv n120 out of savage 10 ml, any sobot suggestions?
 
Knurl them as best you can as they are difficult to obturate. Even sabotless in a 45 getting obturation on those copper bullets means using hot boosters and heavy loads way beyond what a sabot can take. W
 
That bullet loves all the speed it can get to expand. If you expect impacts under 1900fps i would look at other bullets.

60-63gr N120 will give you 2300fps+ to just a tad over 2400fps MV. Thats pretty much a max load too. I don't think ive used Re7 with a 275gr but you will need roughly 63-66gr to get about the same speed as N120.
