[QUOTE="budlight, post: 481830, member: 2939"] Roy, I just saw this post. I aquired three rifles over the years because the owners did not want them anymore. 458 win mag with 26 inch bull barrel, 416 rem with 26 inch bull barrel, .458 American. All of these are 4000 - 5000 pounds of energy rounds. I can only bench rest shoot one of these about 20 times and I'm done. But what it did teach me as a young man when i was handed the 458 win and a couple hundred load 510 grain solids and rounded soft points is that everything else seems like a plinking gun. I'm 5'10" and 172 pounds. I had a buddy years ago that got the scope ring eye brow first time out with his 300 Weatherby. So he was afraid of it. So i took him out shooting in the hills and I popped off the 458 a few times with instruction on the firm planted edge of the shoulder hold with sling tripod type hold with your left arm. He shot the 458 about 5 times and to this day 20 some years later he doesn't even flinch with the little 300 Weatherby shooting 220 grain. He enjoys it. :) I've shot allot of animals over the years with my big guns. [/QUOTE]
