[QUOTE="sw282, post: 1930670, member: 93980"] l shot several 460 Weatherbys from the bench while working for Kenny Jarrett 20+yrs back.. They were all quite accurate. Recoil wasn't a problem either.. Of course they were all heavy rifles with brakes... We had a 60pound leather sand bag to help endure recoil of those heavy kickers. 45cal rifles are some of the most accurate ever made... lt was the favourite caliber of the great Buffalo hunters of the past with their long range Sharps single shots and Winchester Model86 lever guns. We all remember the gunfight at Adobe Wells when the War chief was downed at around a mile with a big 45cal Sharps... 0ne of the ''Top 10'' sniper kills on record is a Union Lieutanant eliminated at almost a mile during the Siege of Charleston by a Confederate sniper. He was using a 45 caliber Whitworth rifle. Those British made Whitworths were a THOUSAND dollars in 1862...
