>people getting proper big bore hunting guns that don't know how to sight them in, or handle recoil and want a device to take it for them
God damn it just buy a 3.5" shotgun and a couple hundred shells of 2 1/4 ounce turkey shot. It'll be cheaper than wasting good 458 ammo and it'll teach you how not to be a total bitch.

Two sand bags, some ammo, and a pair of balls, fpbp.

>I can't handle recoil so neither can you

>>34030135
Just boresight the rifle and place the butt directly against your scrotum, it helps soak up the recoil.

>people who don't know what 985 grains at 1150 ft/s from a 7lbs shotgun feels like compared to a 500 grain at 2100ft/s from a 9+ pound rifle

fuck off noguns

.458 win mag will hit harder than damn near any shotgun.

>>34030972
Look at the weight of the firearm you mook, a regular 3.5" with a lightweight synthetic stock is 7lbs, much lighter than 10 gauge shotguns.

sauce: me because I fucking own them and a 458

Now shut up and let the thread die because it was ended well before you got here and proved your retardation.

You are nogunz as fuck.

Here's the preferred 3 1/2" load

>>34031306
How on earth am I supposed to know that's .458 win mag? You don't even have a bore gauge in there!

>>34031306

Anon, it's past your bed time, put daddy's ammo back in the reloading room

>>34031354
Joke's on you, my dad's dead.

>458 lott owner here

You don't want to use a led sled for it because you're going to split the stock if it's wood and probably fuck up the stock/bedding if it's polymer still

Stand and do a side resting thing against a post or something. Safari guns are supposed to be shot standing; the apparent recoil is much less.

I've got a load for 500gr at 2300ft/s and its a bit of a doozy but definitely manageable.

>>34031359
I'm sorry for your loss, anon.

First reasonable post in the thread.

>>34031372
It was years ago when I was a kid, thanks though.

>>34031364
Pretty much, I can only take fifty or so rounds from the bench but it's much more manageable standing. The wallet tends to cry mercy before the shoulder does.

>>34030729
Correct. I havent. I own a 338 win mag and its not as a scary as people say.

>>34030972
This chart doesn't even have 3.5" 12-gauge on it. Some of those turkey and boar loads approach 70 ft.lbs.

>>34031492
Not to mention weight of the firearm, that makes a big difference.

>>34031492
why does it take such a high power round just to kill a turkey?

>>34030135
caldwell rock br and a set of protektor bags filled with heavy sand

Because fuck those nigger birds.
