Re: 458WM is very versatile

No mate-


The front sight (NECG, adjustable) had been set for the Hornady4502/2450fpsMV load.
As I was shooting a short series of increasing loads to see how the brass would do (and it was too windy to use a chronograph without losing it to the wind) I just held the front sight on a coffee can on a small berm at the base of the hill.
That bullet hit high, smacking the hillside behind/above the can.
That bit of earth (before the shot) had an even ground-cover.
At the impact, crap flew everywhere, and when I first walked up on the spot I couldn't believe it - hence the snapshots of before/after.
I was amazed at the effect.
Also at that amount of upset, I'm amazed at how well the bullet held together.




Cheers
Tinker
