Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

Data from yesterday:






Oops, make that "same windage with 450-gr TSX 1 inch higher at 50 yards than the 500-gr RN"
which is still a pretty useful thing.
Get the 500-gr RN soft (or FN solid hopefully) zeroed at 100 yards and the 450-gr TSX will be shooting higher for longer range use with gentler recoil.
Both delivering over 5000 ft-lbs of muzzle-KE.

We also see that the greater recoil of 85 grains of CFE 223 makes the 500-grainer shoot higher than with 80 grains of VARMINT,
even though the lower-recoil VARMINT load is slightly faster in MV.
When you are stuck with 50-yard targets, it is like watching angels dance on the head of a silly millimeter.

Daisy did it again:









The caduceus wings over the .458 WinMag head stamp means it's just what the doctor ordered. Good medicine.
