[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1112714"] I hate to discourage anyone... My observations: not a large number of bullet options for high BC .458s a velocity of ~2650 is doable with a 28" barrel, 30" or more might more fitting to the project. The factory 24" will limit things. the factory twist rate will not be enough to stabilize the bullet. Since the barrel won't stabilize anyway, a barrel change is in order. If it were me (and I have "plans"), I would go with something closer to a 375 Mjolnir found here [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/500-jeffery-based-wildcats-107936/[/url] or if commited to the 458 caliber, a 458 version.
