I am planning on deer hunting some with it.
Anyone have any good Whitetail loads worked up? wink

rodeojoe,

Sir Joe is taken. How about Sir Rodeo ?
I have a Ruger Mk II .458 WM with Shilen No. 5-1/2 Sporter contour barrel
that can be switched from HS Precision to Zytel Canoe Paddle stock, depending on my mood.
I love it, great rifle.
What bullet weight do you want to hunt deer with ?
My last two deer were taken with the Ruger Mark II and 400-grainers.
We have loads aplenty here, but you gotta narrow it down to your druthers,
so many possibilities with the incredible, versatile .458 WinMag,
from 250-grainers on up.
