^^^how you like the 458? i was laughed at when i said i wanted a 458 upper for hawg hunting. or whatever else i wanted too!
I love it! There's nothing like shooting this big thumper,I'm still amazed at how accurate it can be with the right loads.
Recoil is nothing until you start shooting 400gr and bigger bullets,then it'll let you know it means business.
If you don't handload for the 458,you better be really rich. I've never shot a factory round out of mine,but the factory ammo is hard to find,and very expensive if you do find some.
Even handloading isn't cheap,but it's nowhere near what the factory ammo cost,plus the cost goes down everytime I reload a case. Starline brass is the only mfg of 458SC brass,and the last that I bought was $204 for 250pc of brass.
I've been shooting mine for over 1 1/2 years,and always take it with me when we are hunting.
