I am looking to see if anyone has loaded 458 win mag to subsonic levels successfully? I have a 458 win mag with a suppressor and some ACME 576 casts I was hoping to load down to subsonic for use on hogs and practicing. Haven’t found much online. Some claim to have done it with unique or trail...
I've purchased this RMR mount for a M70 Safari Express in 458 win mag. I was wondering if anyone here runs this same mount and with which optic? I'm curious is the iron sights can still be used by looking through the bottom of the optic or not without removing the optic. The reason I want this...
planning to chop and thread my m70 safari to 19 or 20” and thread for a suppressor. Anyone know the proper thread pitch? My 375 ruger is 11/16x24 and there’s plenty of shoulder to mount my suppressor and it’s doesn’t loosen anyone know the muzzle diameter of this rifle in 458wm at 29”?
I’d...
Preferably Norma, but open to others. Finally settled on a rifle and discover there's no brass available for it. If you happened to stock up on the last Norma run or have some virgin qual-cart or Hornady laying around I'd be interested. Even once fired is ok but would prefer virgin if someone...
I’ve been researching quite a bit on these rounds and I’ve come to the following findings:
1. 458wm has a longer freebore than 458 Lott.
2. Compressed loads needed to reach higher velocities in a long action led to issues with old ammo and old powders in the win mag. Winchester responded by...
I’m looking for something a bit different. If anyone has a 458 win mag or Lott or b&m with a short threaded barrel I’d be interested. Would prefer a wood stock but open. Must are a crf action, front and rear iron sights, and a threaded barrel preferably in 3/4”.
If you have something close...
I see very few if any examples of folks using suppressors on dangerous game rifles. Is there a reason for this other than people don’t like the “look”?
I’m contemplating having a 20” 458 Lott built and threaded for a silencerco hybrid. Silencerco told me the minimum barrel length is 20” for...
Looking to see what powders would give the best velocities and lowest pressures with the Barnes 270 LRX in particular. I have on hand:
Reloader 16 (great in 6.5 CM and temp stable). Have a lot
H4831SC (used it in my old 7mm-300WSM but since sold it)
Varget - No explaination need. Have a decent...
Asked Barnes if the 170 LRX is adequate for use on Cape Buffalo. Below is their response:
" Over on the 24 Hour Campfire.com forum, RickBin, the owner has posted his “now” preference for the 270 gr LRX in his 375’s. He’s taken a multitude of Cape Buffalo with many 375 cal bullets. I’d have...
