[QUOTE="budlight, post: 12759, member: 2939"] Off of your subject, but I saw that you had a .458 last year I took the trusty ol 458 deer hunting just to have fun and show my friends what it can do for a ranchers deer depridation hunt. I didn't chrono any of the loads out of my 26 inch barrel. But they probably exceed 2600 fps. 405 grain Barnes X 82 grains of 4320 cci 250. Classic 110 yard shot near perfect broadside heart lung shot. I had installed a new 2.8 - 10 power 44 mm scope. I shot it about 20 times on a bench rest sighting it in. My shoulder was a little blue and sore. That's half of the man thing shooting a .458 [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Anyway I cranked it up to 10X and placed the gun on my jacket across the pickup roof standing in the bed. I pulled the trigger and saw the bullet strike. The Mule deer rippled with the impact and threw it sideways about 10 feet. @8 inch exit wound, hydro shock 8 inches around that. No heart or lungs left. Have fun with the .30 [/QUOTE]
