[QUOTE="Roll-Yur-Own, post: 114670, member: 6140"] I heard that you have to seat the bullet perfectly or you have problems with the extraction. Although nearly everything I've read on the subject says that the 458 lott is THE cartridge to get for dangerous game. Likewise, I've consistently read that 460 wby's or 450 dakotas are overkill due to the excessive recoil. I've also read that its best to unscrew the muzzlebreak when in the field so you don't lose hearing after the shot and possibly not hear an animal charging from the flank or rear. Sound to me like a pair of those earphones that let you hear everything then shut down upon a loud blast would be the solution. I'm now leaning toward the 458 lott, but still investigating a 416 rigby as well. Lastly there is a company in New Hampshire that makes mauser actions "Empire Rifles", has anyone heard of them?
