I just took one of my accurate 103 hand loads in my 22", and extrapolated it for 24". The accuracy node shifted a bit, but I tweaked the grains some and by my estimates using Lvr you might get 2830's with that 103 eldx for 24" barrel... which would be very close to a node for you.
I don't try to push the ksi limits even in the bolt action.
At 450 yds you would be looking at estimated 2108 fps and 1016 ke. All estimates on paper, no real world data. 7.4-7.5 Moa at that distance, drop wise (zero at 100).
After I chronied such a load, I would definitely try it for at least 300 yds to verify performance before taking it into the field. That is, if I couldn't do it at 400 or 450. My range has some 200 & 300 yd steel.
