I actually bought mine directly from Cal the day I drove down to his house to shoot his 8 bore and a few other doubles. He was a great guy

I wish I had the money! I'd have to sell off most of my gun collection to afford it though. Gorgeous rifle!

This was at 100yds out of my 45-70, muzzle vel was about 1950fps, so I'm assuming impact vel was around 1550fps

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I saw this while searching for other info and thought I'd share something somewhat related. I have tested some of the 350gr a frames in my 45-70 and have had decent expansion down to around 1500fps in testing. Granted it was water jugs and snow

I have one made in 1960, was my grandpa's before he passed, best shooting shotgun I own

Good deal!

I have one somewhere that I'd send to you. It would just be a few weeks at least until I could look for it

I think I might be able to order directly from leupold for a lil cheaper using my veterans discount Thank you though, I appreciate the timely response

Looking for a low power scope for my 458 lott. Preferably a leupold vx5hd

Think that would hold up better than s vx5hd on a lott?

No reason why, other than curiosity. I have the 500gr bullets I plan to use in it. I just happen to.have a bunch of the 350gr a frames that I use in my 45-70, and I find them more than satisfied at 1950fps. Was just curious if anyone had used them pushed to lott velocities

Only selling to lower 48?

Anyone ever loaded 350gr A Frames in a 458 lott?

Looking for a vx5hd 1-5

I may do that, but getting him to do it before I need to get ready for grizz season might be a challenge

I mentioned it, but also told him it's not that high on my priority list right now. He's semi retired and has lots of projects to do

I actually thought my 416 rem kicked way harder than my no1s in 458 lott and 500ne. I may just leave the brake for now, until I find a thread protector that doesn't look like crap. Big issue is I'd have to file the front sight back a but because it hangs over the threads about 1/16", the...

When I ordered my 300gr a frames it took about a week. The 500gr is going to be about 2wks when they get here monday

I considered leaving it as was, having owned and feeling confident with both calibers, but the powder I have on hand favors the lott

Well I dropped it off to get reamed out to lott

I'm going to try, got a few stateside hunts I want to accomplish first though

I've been lurking for a few years. Just can't afford it.

Well I doubt I'll make it to Africa, or hunt with a guide anytime soon, but the plan is to nix the brake once I find something to protect the threads. But I'm not in a huge hurry

I've shot 458wm, lott and larger without a brake before. I don't mind the recoil with or without

This muzzle brake isn't all that loud, went out and shot it into the berm at my house.

I've shot plenty of big stuff without a brake, and have no need for it. But unless I can find a suitable protector, or decide to chop the threaded portion off, I'll just rock it as is. I am by no means recoil sensitive, but I do prefer to preserve what little hearing I have left

This is the first muzzle brake I've ever had on a rifle, I'm not w fan of the looks but will give it a shot (no pun intended), until I can find a suitable thread protector. Or maybe I'll just fall in love with it lol

My new 458wm. Mod 70 super express. Came with a bunch of ammo. Now debating reaming it to 458 lott, it already cycles and feeds smoothly with 375h&h ammo, so I believe it should be good to go after a simple reaming. Previous owner had the longer extractor added and mag box opened up already

Looking for a mod 70 458. Lott is preferred but a win mag could work

I used the 300gr power shocks on 2 caribou last year Both were pass throughs

When or if they are available

Shipping? Or just f2f

I'd probably buy the 300gr accubonds and barnes if you decide to separate

Sorry about that, had stuff come up that couldn't be avoided. Things seem to go wrong right before winter in Alaska

Bump, looking at using the 350gr swifts for a moose hunt next season. My handload for them is at about 1950fps

They will mostly be used for moose and brown bear anyhow

They are a flat point

This is one I recovered in water jugs. At 50yds it went through 7 1gal milk jugs full of water, only lost 1gr. I feel like it would make a decent DG bullet, certainly wouldn't be the worst choice

No one?

Anyone have experience with these bullets in 45-70?

I have had luck with rl15 too

Gotta get my trophy moose first

Anyone else have any experience with these bullets?

If i had the spare cash

That's a gorgeous Eland. I sure hope i can make it to Africa some day

How big was your eland?

Wish i had the money

Would this work on a ruger no1?

I already have a 375 haha

I I had the 458 already. Didnt want to buy another rifle for a project
