[MyFlatline]

Dayum, what a bullet. That has to be a thumper..Pretty Rifle too.

That's a good looking rifle. Be careful, that will leave a bruise.

I have been shooting cast in different 458 rifle since the 1980
using it for moose hunting
decided to try this......
the mold is made by Mountain mold
its a copy of the Brook bullets
I have tried it in a Steyr big bore in 450 marlin at about 1550 fps very accurate
will post all the range report for you

That’s a really nice looking rifle. I bet it cost quite a few dollars, US or Canadien.

will develop one and sight in just before the hunt
the rest of the year will be reduced loads

Here is a squirrel, here is a red mist. There is a tail.

[WHITETAIL]

+1 on a real beauty!!!!
Can't wait to hear and see the
shooting reports.

[canuck4570]

after shooting I will walk crooked...... but happy

[GregLaROCHE]

I’d like to see it shooting a 500gr hollow point. Even on a moose, don’t you think that boolit might just keep on going? Would sure like to have updates on how it works out for you. I guess it’s too late for moose where you are this year?

[canuck4570]

he shoots moose don't move he thought he had miss moose take 2 steps forward and drop

That .450 Marlin is more my speed. I barreled a P14 in that cartridge and loved it.

Thirty some years ago, we never had any ballistic gel, but once did some testing on a problem bear. It was really surprising, that if you didn’t hit a major bone, the bullet just kept on going. Even after going through ribs. Granted, it wasn’t a big grisly.

Congrats on the new toy. Sure is a fine looking piece of machinery! Not to mention, one heck of a slug!
