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

Interesting that with the 400-grainer at 2345 fps MV landing about 1.4" high at 50 yards,
the scope was not changed/adjusted
and the 500-grainer at 2102 fps was landing about an inch higher than that at 50 yards.
Barrel time and recoil effects.

Using the 2.5X scope at 1000 yards: Holdover on the billboard-sized target with standard duplex reticle, and 25-MOA rail.
Aiming above the 3-feet-square bull.
Easier than with barrel sights on 1-power. Heh-heh-heh.
Rifle likes brass fouling:





Hood is still tight on the front sight ramp. I am not messing with it until it flies away spontaneously.
Recoil is light with a 10-pound rifle, with a 3-pound trigger. Heh-heh-heh.
