Wow that's an incredible story! Congratulations on two nice animals! This story has furthered my love for the R8 and my respect for the buffalo.

I'd presume they were reloads given the venue being a steel shoot. Polygonal rifled barrels and excessive leading would be my guess what the issue was.

You must be very, very careful with a Glock 21 and big heavy lead bullets. Choose your barrel very carefully and keep it very clean. I have been to steel shoots where people have had Kabooms with a Glock and time after time it is always the 21 with Long Colt bullets. Nobody has lost a hand yet...

You entered the realm of hit and be hit when you selected the .458 Lott. Cinch your belt and practice. You'll grow accustomed to the recoil in time. Study videos for recoil management techniques. At first it will feel as though you're maybe not doing it right and getting out of the way of the...

I think the .700 RNE would be the next step for me. Everything else is a compromise. Lol

Well the one fella that had one on here shot it a few times and then revised his life decisions.

Rebarrel it to a .450 Rigby!

Yeah looks like you could've stopped at three. That's a car crash in every trigger pull.

No follow up shots at all. Might as well be a single shot. The .700 RNE is a better concept as brass is readily available and more power!

Nevermind if it's Berdan.

You could always pull it and reload it...

I understood very little of the last three and a half pages. Essentially just a person talking to himself without regard for reply almost like a bot. On a lighter note, I think @Bob Nelson 35Whelen has been forever surpassed as thread necromancer and rambler.

Well I pulled out the No.1 Lott from the safe last week. It had sadly been a while. Here are some targets shot from the bench with express sights. The first session was quite the learning experience. Suspecting that I had previously sighted the rifle lacking decent precision I decided to...

.416 Remington has the advantage that it can be necked up to .458 Lott! .416 Ruger has the advantage of...? Being commonly unavailable? There are a stream of .458 projectiles available for your enjoyment while practicing or plinking. I cannot say the same for .416. That was the major reason for...

I was talking more along the lines of a 1918 BAR not a mark 2 Safari.
