.458 Win Mag gets the heart pumping

Post by iwaslike » 22 Oct 2013, 8:34 am

Just sharing a bit of fun after my latest day at the range :)

I've shot the usual spread of centre fires up to 30 cal stuff, but nothing larger.

I guy at my local range caught be ogling his rifle on the bench and kindly offered me a shot.

Before shooting he just said "hold on, this is going to kick a lot more than your .308"

Didn't know what to expect, so, KABOOM!

Your first shot of a .458 Win Mag gets the heart pumping I can tell you :D

Yep it'll do that :lol:

I've shot a 500gr lott at the range once before.

I reckon once was enough :D

Somebody's forgetting the .950 JDJ 8-)
What is this "too many rifles" you speak of?
