Don't know whether to start a new thread or not but had the 458 out in a tactical match on a "smack the smiley" type target.

I shot poorly using the 325 grain Hornady with 40 grain of H4198 but won - the use of a 458 removes any evidence of the "smiley" from the target. The bolt gun is a better alternative to a semi - and an AI stock with a 22x NXS helps a lot.

The problem I had was riding the stock properly through recoil. When I did my part with it the bullet hit where I wanted it to but the rear stock would slide up my hand on the butt.

Over all very positive. Want to go hunting with it now!

Rifle and ammo are on page 5.

The targets were too torn up to bother recording = though the taste of victory was sweet.

The 325s do a good job on a bowling pin too. Not a carved wound channel like the 300 Wing Mag more just a brute smashing of the wood.

Who said they had a nice sub 500grn RN load going? I checked my velocity and it was about 1500fps.
