Never thought I'd have one of these but somehow ended up with it. Not that I was particularly looking for this caliber as I know their reputation(undeserved though it is),it just sort of happened. Anyway,when I get to Africa I feel like I'll have "enough gun",though I could be very wrong as I've never "been among them".
As an aside,we took this hog to the range and after shooting 15 rounds through the 7 mag and another 6 through the .375 H&H I decided to give this one a try.
Why? Dunno!
What I DO know is that this thing left me feeling a little sore and not wanting to shoot any more-not even .22's.
FYI,we were shooting 510gr soft-point factory stuff in the 2100fps range. And it's a .458WM.
Groups? Dunno,no one felt like going down to look at them...

I want to resume looking for a 300RUM Sendero. JustC has had me salivating for that or the 7mmRUM for a couple years now!

Hey Todd. Happy New Year. The 460 is a Custom Shop Mark V. You can OWN it. [;)]
The 450 kicks like a 12 gauge shotgun and I have never fired the Hawkin.[:0]

Oh damn BlueTic.... that is awesome! You built that you say? Very very cool!
Biggest I've fired is Ed Hubels 12ga From Hell.
Now, as far as your 458WM goes, run a 458 Lott reamer into it. You can still use the 458WM ammo in that chamber (same thing as putting 38spl ammo in a 357Mag), but you gain the ability to run the full power loads also.
Pistol: .40 S&W (though the .357 is more of a cannon)
I am a pistol shooter though.. so the rifle collection is very limited.
Ive got a 300wsm, its a cannon.
after I loaded up some, after I fired them
everyone had to stop to see what I was shooting.
Man my dad has one its not that bad, it more humph than bam, you want a wallop shoot a 7mm WSM, yeah its smaller rd but it packs more punch.
Too old to live...too young to die...
Not telling...
Shotgun...
12 gauge 3?" semiauto
In handguns, I've shot a S&W 500 on several different occasions. Though the cartridge wasn't the hottest load available.
I hope to see it on Gunbroker soon.

Just how big are you to have held it up, and do you have photos of it against your shoulder while under recoil?

I hope they're fun to shoot 'cause they are a pain in the * to work on.
