Its is at the end of the day very difficult to propose a large bore rifle for and individual....in fact you cant really make a wrong choice on any of the of the calibers mentioned on this thread...they are all damn good for the intended purposes and boils down to the individual. If the choice...
This break was custom made for my .460WM. The purpose is to reduce muzzle lift and ensure a quicker alignment for a second shot....it is no loader then with the break off as the blast is diverted upwards away from the shooter and anyone else not in a tree. It does make a difference in the recoil...
This Extract from Northwest Magnum sums up the .460 debate..... I would say!
460 Weatherby Magnum
There's a pile of people who have written comments and opinions about the 460 Weatherby Magnum, and most of them head off in the direction of whiny complaints. Too powerful. Too loud. Too much...
Have to agree with both Jaco and Big5....love mine only complaint is the brass life for reloading I get is 3 rounds before I see splits on the shoulder...could just me me...not sure
A Debate worth following
03 Dec 2013
An interesting debate on the comment pages of Pot-Shot between Gerhard Corejees en Pieter Spire is unfolding. The content of the debate is repeated here for the education of other readers and as an example how the internet can stimulate robust debate...
Hi Brickburn, Shot 20 rounds of my reloads at the Ihawu indoor range this afternoon. Fitted my scope and bore sighted it. Rear base stated to come loose after the 4th round. Took the scope off and shot another 11 rounds just to get the hang of the rifle. The last 5 shots I managed to stay on...
Hi Diamondhitch, I have heard that Lee will be making a die crimp for the 338 LM and that this should work for the 460 as well. How true ....not sure, but the interest around the 338 LM is building at an alarming rate and I believe they will be compelled to meet this growing demand in the...
Lazy Shotgun
Just received the latest edition of my Wingshooter magazine. Came across this in the letters section. I just have to share with you guys
To the Editor:
Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 870 right in the doorway. I gave it 4 shells and left it alone and...
Hi Hogpatrol,
Its always good to be in the company of fellow Hunters.....thanks. I would love to add a sub 6mm to my battery, but my licence quota is on max I think, and have only room for possibly one more...interesting have not heard of the .17 Fireball here in my neck of the woods...have...
Hi sestoppleman, Thanks for that feedback. You are right I may have to go the custom route. Was just hoping that with the wide network on AH I might find someone who has taken this journey and no longer has a need for it. A-R did inform me that Lee are considering introducing a crimp die for the...
Oh No! Brickburn....Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I just hope no one was pulling a prank on you with a hot load. I have downloaded my round to about 2350 to 2400 fps (as per Somchem manual). The bullet to be used is Hornandy 500gn Interlock. My Rifle was custom made by Jan Bondisio...
Thats awesome Nyati......I have not hunted buff yet hope to do so next season. Our currency cannot compete with the Dollar or Euro so it is beyond reach for most South African hunters.....the far majority local hunts are for meat and outdoor life not to forget the great chats around the...
Will do Brickburn...certainly will.....don't believe its as bad as some folks make out to be...but I will let you know how it goes....weather not looking good for tomorrow though.
Warm Regards,
Bill
Hi Spike.t, thanks glad to be on ship....The last pic of me and the Wildebeest was taken with my 270 win an opportunity with a marginal caliber so I opted for the neck shot...dropped in its tracks.
Warm Regards,
Bill
Hi Jerome,
Thank you I can see I will be enjoying AH with all the interesting forums and discussion here. It is off season and helps cure the blues whilst waiting for the new season.
Warm Regards,
Bill
