[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

Michael Lisi You must be a glutton for punishment! I haven't yet had the opportunity to shoot anything bigger than a .300 H&H magnum, and my own single high-powered rifle is a Ruger M77 .30-06, but I'd like to see how some of the heavier artillery is to fire. Oh, I forgot to mention that I have fired a .50 BMG, but that was the M2, so I didn't really have to deal with the recoil because those are tripod-mounted. It sure was a hell of a lot of fun, though! One of those things that I sorely miss about being a Navy Gunner's Mate.

Hello from Australia. I built a .458 WM in the late 1970's. I used a 24" barrelled Mauser Magnum action in the white and a good-quality semi-inletted stock with handsome grain. The inletting took quite a long time without using long gunsmith's inletting studs; fit, smoke, file, refit, repeat. I set the barrel ring of the receiver and the first 4" of the barrel in bedding epoxy with one recoil cross-pin. I deliberately kept the stock as full as appropriate in order to keep the weight at 10 pounds. I fitted a Williams Foolproof receiver sight and a Williams shorty front sight with a medium white bead. It turned out a very lovely economically-priced rifle and not at all difficult to carry and shoot. The .458 WM is a peach.

In all honesty, and having never fired a .458, I am surprised by how little you were actually shoved back with the recoil. (We've all seen those clowns shooting the A-Square T-Rex, I'm sure.)

I had a budget 458 Win Mag built on a MARK X action. Whoever had it built must have intended to carry it alot as it sported a relatively thin 20-inch barrel with a aperture rear sight. A nice thing about rifles in 458 Win Mag is the prices for used ones are pretty decent - probably because of the limited use in the lower 48 and high ammo cost.

Maybe 300 win mag vs safari cartridges. Now that’s a video.

Hunter_Jordan is right - the 458 is all about penetration, and not explosiveness. High velocity rounds like a 300 WM will do more damage to gel blocks, but generally won't penetrate as far.

[@MaxwellFaro]

I’m thinking “They’re perfectly good HD buckets!” I’ve got some paint covered ones that need disappeared..

[@BatcatCA]

Another nice hint for helping absorb the recoil on these big bores is (as a right handed shooter) making sure you keep that right elbow high - like you do, have the elbow pointing almost to the horizon, instead of at 45 degrees to the ground, or directly at the ground.

[@f5tornadeau]

GReeNORB is that true? I would think the opposite is true. If you raise your elbow, you’re spreading your shoulder/upper pectoral muscles, giving yourself less natural padding. I can’t say I’ve ever thought about it much as the most powerful rifle cartridge I’ve shouldered is a .300 Win mag.

[@BatcatCA]

f5tornadeau hold your left hand where the butt of the rifle would go in your right shoulder. Raise your elbow and feel your pec and shoulder tense more. Compare the feeling when your elbow points at the ground. The tense muscle helps absorb/resist the heavy recoil more than a slack one does. It's the technique I use when shooting a .375 Ruger, which has rather a lot of recoil.

I own a Ruger M 77 in .458 Win. Mag. just like the one featured in your video. The older M 77's , with the tang safety, are push feed, which is a questionable feature for a dangerous game rifle, but I use mine for hunting White Tail Deer in Minnesota. I load it down to 45-70 velocities with the same 300 grain Hornady Hollow point bullet I use in my Marlin .45-70 Lever Gun. You can load the .458 down to between 2100 and 2300 fps with this bullet, which would be the high end of velocities in a 45-70.Regards,Gungineer

Shooting that many .458 mag rounds in one day you are a certified Masochist! I had a Weatherby M k V in .458 mag and even with a shotgun recoil pad on it after 5 rounds IT HURT!

[@joesanders6898]

The only time I ever shot a Winchester 458 Magnum, I made the mistake of shooting it from the prone position. I couldn't effectively use my right arm for 2 or 3 days afterward. The recoil was so bad that it separated the lenses in a 4 power Weaver scope.

Next time after you fill the bucket up set a basketball on top and watch how high it flies up.

[@tcjohnson3437]

I went to buy one about 30 years ago, and ran across a Dakota Arms 458 Lott first, so I bought it. Fantastic rifles. Hits like a freight train.

[@donaldfragale3733]

You guys are F#$%^& hillarious and professional and you are nuts for firing the power wagon .458 target shooting like it was nothing!

[@harrymiram6621]

WHY standing so close? Retreat to 150-250 yds to REALLY see damage! And stuff some pork loin or Boston butt in pumpkins for dramatic effect!

[@smokedbrisket3033]

458 WM has a looping trajectory at that distance, not a whole lot flatter than a 45-70. certainly do-able, but also certainly not ideal, at least not for the critters 458 WM was intended for shooting.

[@jagdishdhaygude6588]

That gun is very beautiful 😍😍❤️

[@joeysplats3209]

Not as beautiful as me, honey.

[@rjhinc7997]

Cool. Rifle chambered for 458 Lott will also shoot those rounds. No real issue shooting either. No sling is my preference. Merry Christmas Y'all.

I have used a 458 win mag since the age of 18 yrs. I use a double barrel over and under made in austria and my ammunition is the original 1959 loads. If you hold the rifle correctly there will be no issues regarding recoil. Right hand firm and left as a rest ( for the right handed ). There is no need to prepare yourself for the recoil as it might cause you to flinch. Have shot big game out to 150 yards with the open sights as I do not use telescopic sights on the 458 win mag. My small calibre rifle is a 375h&h mag , which I have used since I was 12yrs of age ( minimum calibre for dangerous game ).

[@gassonteddy4459]

SHIT!!😲 That is one serious firearm my brother. Its got a bit of recoil to it bro great shot.👍

[@treypeterson2778]

Y’all should check out the .577 nitro express magnum. (T-Rex)

[@MrMacroJesseSky]

Trey Peterson pretty much all rifles chambered in that are exclusively over 15 grand

[@MooseHunter330]

Why not get a .458 Lott? It is more powerful, fits in the same system and you can shoot .458 Winchester Magnum out of it.

[@MooseHunter330]

You can still get CZ550s in .458 Lott.

[@waltlars3687]

As I recall the 458 Lott is a 375 H&H blown out to 458 and is a much longer cartage the 458 Win can used in the long action sized rifle actions like the 30-06 the 458 Lott requires a longer action

[@MooseHunter330]

Well, that's parially true. The .375 Holland&Holland does fit in a standard length Mauser system, but you do need to lengthen the magazine in order to feed the rounds properly. And I guess the ammo wouldn't be too much of a problem, since Eric handloads.

[@waltlars3687]

MooseHunter330 just run a 458 Dia resizer ball through a 375 H&H case Lott knew there were lots of 375's rifles so it's a inexpensive way to make a modern big game rifle with the power of the classic African safari doubles on He is too Fucking Close critters

[@smartacus88]

You can have any.458 Winchester chambered rifle opened up to accommodate .458 Lott by a gunsmith.

[@coreyg7575]

like a boxer, cuz your about to box... Nice!

[@andredejager484]

In my PH days i used the exact same model Ruger M77 in 458 WM .Was a great stopper and never let me down .
