Just In.....Kimber Caprivi 458 Lott

To me....the real stuff is 450gr at 2200-2300. Low pressure and no powder compression to speak of. It doesn't appear that 500gr is needed anymore with today's bullet technology. (Sounds like a good enough excuse to me anyway....) lol!
Kevin "Doctari" Robertson would likely beg to disagree :)

Oh what does he know??? LOL! Just kidding of course.
But if a solid bullet will penetrate through the vitals from any sane angle, and exit, as far as I can see, a 45 caliber hole, is a 45 caliber hole.
 
Yep, but aside from Elephant, pretty much everything else (including Buff) is shot with softs nowadays (precisely because these modern solids will punch through about anything) ;)

Just picked up this Kimber 458 Lott today. Beautiful wood on this one! Unfired, with only a few safe marks on the stock. Weight is dead on 8lbs 8oz with no scope installed. Shallow V rear three leaf sights and white adjustable front sight, come to point perfectly. Red Decelerator recoil pad of proper proportions. Drilled and tapped for 8-40 scope mount screws.

I loaded up a few rounds of Cutting Edge 450gr solids this evening to check for feed and function, which are perfect. Can't wait to shoot it tomorrow!

Beautiful rifle
 
Took the Kimber out on a hike yesterday. Shooting stumps in the woods at various ranges is great practice for hunting. The Express sights are easy to hit with at elephant hunting distances. The straight stock design, and the wide recoil pad, make recoil a non issue when fired off hand.

ive seen an elephant report where a guy shot a big cow in the forehead and the bullet was found at the root of the tail. It was a 450gr flat-nose Barnes solid out of a win mag.
 
Make sure it feeds with hunting rounds. Had to send mine back and they couldn’t fix it?? Weird. I got my money back. Sounds like yours is good.

It feeds perfectly with flat nosed solids, so it should feed anything else as well or better.
 
If eventually you do decide to sell the rifle. You can always remove the claw extractor and sell it to someone who insists on a push feed rifle. I was going to say that you will need to include a cleaning rod, but I am sure they own one already!

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
