i'm new to the big bores... i have a .458 win mag on a ruger #1... with the 510 gr loads, its rough on the bench, trying to get a good sight-setting... with the 350 grain, it's easy to shoot.... i also shoot a winchester m70 in .375 h&h....i seem to notice more recoil from it than i do the .458....the ruger will get a mercury reducer later this month and a better recoil pad......the .375 will probably follow.... i have a 9.3 x 74 in a ruger #1 tropical on order... i was told friday that it will be here in about 3 weeks... i'm looking forward to that 1...i have plans to look at a 9.3 in a double this coming weekend.. good thing my significant other shares my shooting desires as much as i do... she received a colt gov't satin .45acp for mother's day....
