[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4417501, member: 12277"] I keep meaning to look at the pictures of it that you posted on the Smokeless ML board at home - I can't see them here at work. I was picturing it more in the "Heavy Varmint" weight range not as heavy as 20 lbs. At 20lbs that is a lot more manageable than I imagined. Still I know it's going to jump when it goes BOOM! The 460 at about 12 lbs with a max powder charge and 300 grain bullets is just a nice heavy recoil but not painful. Definitely more than any deer rifle but nothing like the 500 grain "elephant" loads. Some of those bullets you are working with in your beast have surprisingly high BC's considering they are relatively light for caliber bullets. Being that I'm used to thinking of .458 bullets as dangerous game bullets it looks odd to see long pointy noses on that caliber! [/QUOTE]
