Re: .458 Win Mag vs .458 Lott vs .458 Express

Those are all great comments, mostly on why I should not ream to 458 Express. There are a more reasons why I should probably leave the gun as is.
1. I bought the gun new a long time ago and it is an early serial number. I hate to modify it now.
2. I don’t need more case volume. It is a single shot and I can seat the bullet farther out if needed.
3. I don’t need more gun. 458WM is plenty of gun. Anyway, I have another Ruger No1, re-barreled to 500NE.

Anytime I feel the lust for “more gun” creeping over me, I take the 500NE and a few hot reloads with 750 grain bullets over to the range.
I squeeze of a round,
regain my balance,
regain my senses,
appologize to the wide eyed lady with the .22 on my right,
answer the “What the hell was that?” questions from the guy on my left,
drive home, eat dinner and brush my teeth, all without the use of my right arm,
and reconsider my desire for “more gun”.

Just kidding. But I think I will keep the 458WM as is.
