Welcome Bob, good you came on over the the Enlightened-Side.
Dave Manson Reamers (

Pitted-Bore has the repository for Bolt Guns shooting the 450.
All manor of bullets from .451" to .458" normally 185gr-700gr. There is a ton of info and help from our great group of guys here, that will help you Draw down .458 to .452, if you need it.
Drawn 500gr Hornadys are easy to get sub-sonic, keep the case as full as is normal (remember light loads can and do Detonate) and use a powder that gives about 1050fps, which allows for a hot day to speed the bullet up a little and still remain sub-sonic..t
