I am a real fan of the BIG bullet and not real fast
So the other day I ran into a deal that I couldn't pass up
One of the "Smart" , I can take any recoil guys in the gun club
Had a Savage rifle in 458 Winchester and couldn't take the recoil
So he had a 7 Rem Mag barrel installed
He had a like new Barrel , 38 rounds of ammo , 122 cases and a unused RCBS set of dies for sale ....he wanted $200
But I offered him $100 and he took it
So later today I am going to take the 338 Win mag barrel off and screw on the 458 barrel and see if I need to change the mag
I guess for now I will leave the Leupold 2x7 on the rifle
OK I don't plan on reducing my shoulder into mush ( But I still want the big shots to see me shooting the 458 and not complaining LOL :twisted:)
So I plan on shooting NOE .460 405 gr RF in it as I have a bunch cast for the 45/70
Also the short term plans only call for targets and deer hunting , till I save enough for a big bear hunt
I figured a Marlin 45/70 type load should do fine on the shoulder , deer and targets
Only thing that will be hurt is my lead supply
So give me a few easy on the shoulder reduced loads to try
Thanks
John
