My 458WM arrived today. It’s nothing fancy, just a Ruger 77 RS ‘79 model that looks unfired. Scope is an older vari-x iii 1.75-6x32 that’s been through the custom shop for a heavy duplex reticle. I’ve got 300 PCs of virgin Win brass and (150) 450gr tsx and lots of cfe-223 to get me started.
Being that it’s a shorter action I doubt I can shoot the hotter loads that some of you guys are but should be fun anyways for elk and bears in the timber here.
MallardAddict,
Like Sir Larry said, 3.38" COL and 2500 fps with the 404-gr Shock Hammer makes your rifle a 300-yard Elk Killer.
You need a Sir Name for The .458 Winchester Magnum Square Table. Knighthood awaits you. We have a Sir Larry already, but no "Sir Curly" nor "Sir Moe." Come on man, humor us and pick any Sir Name you like, we will just try to avoid duplications, but if a Sir Name is already taken that you insist upon, we can add "The Second" or "Of (insert locale)," etc.
