I shot a 458 win mag today for the first time ever!
It was the ruger#1 and I fired the 350gr.Federal soft point ,How does the recoil in foot pounds of the 350gr. compare to the 450marlin in the 350gr.?Also does anyone know how fast the federal is going?Can reloading make it have even less recoil.My hornady reloading book only shows a few rounds in the 350gr.It is a old book.What is the lowest charge one should try for and not get the hangfires they talk about?How does the recoil compare to the 375H&H with the 300gr.Factory round?It was not as bad as I was expecting,I believe I will work my way up slowly to the 500Gr.Though.The 350gr. seems like the way to go for north america.Its a neat looking Round!!Does the 416 remington have more foot pounds recoil than the 458 350Gr.Round?Iam just trying to put the recoilthing in prospective...with the various rounds that are kinda close to it.It felt more than a 375H&H to me.Thanks
