Mickey, 450NitroExpress,

I've enjoyed shooting the rifle as a 458wm since ammo was relatively cheap and easy to get in the short time I've owned the gun. I've put about 130 or so rounds through it.

Must say that I've had no ejection or extraction issues and after a little learning curve on loading it smoothly no issues there either.

The rifle is now on its way back to JJ to have the front trigger pull lightened and a bit larger front bead installed. I've got a couple of days of shipping time to decide whether to rechamber now or wait till after my Oct Zim trip.

I'd have JJ do the work and he'll get it "on the books" with Marcel and I'll send it to be reproved afterwards.

As sugested would be the case by others in earlier threads I haven't found factory loads that regulate really well. The Federal loads have been the best with the Sledgehammer load crossing by two inches but at the right elevation at 50yds and the Bearclaw being about the same distance apart but not crossing. At about 70yds they're still pretty good and I wouldn't hesitate to hunt with them as is but if I need to go to the trouble and expense of developing or having developed for me loads that work I'll probably rechamber to avoid having to do this twice.
