I don't even want to pull the trigger on one of those 3.5 in thingsDan.
Same. Put it in a Mossberg pump and I will pay you to get it out of my sight and mind.

416 500gr. A-Tips
When time allows I’m to give these a whirl. They measure 4.448” to the lands , going to use 4.400” gives me a full shank in the neck of case. Ran some numbers and N570 will get me to 2600fps safely. My 1:14 barrel is marginal. ELR dangerous game rifle :lol:

Do you get any accuracy results in the 460 with the hammers?

well sir, if you run across an Elepharhinopotamus-Rex, you'll have the necessary equipment to bring down the beast...

Not the worst , I only shot 1 group with these with the group being a little under 1”. With only 25 in a box it empties in a hurry.
This will be used this deer season. I will see if I can tighten it up some more this fall.

Have mercy, those girls have quite an appetite. Then again, you don’t buy a 3/4 ton truck for gas mileage either.

Yesterday I put 1 of the 404 to use on a small whitetail. At 75 yds it basically turned him inside out. At that distance impact energy was 7150ft/lbs.
After 7 years the 460 Wby earned its place on the meat pole.

That had to have been quite the spectacle when that amount of energy was unleashed on the deer!

I’ve shot a few 416s that’s about my limit. So much more recoil than the 577 had.

Congrats on a fine harvest to put some meat in the freezer. What cuts are you making with that deer?
That is a lot of horsepower.

Ya his engine fell out the bottom. This round would be very interesting shot into a gel block.
Thanks
I love my 416 and the 460 is just as much fun. That Bullsbag really cuts back on the felt recoil.
Thanks , its going to get deboned and my son will be taking when we get time. Tomorrow afternoon and Friday we are hoping to get Dad’s corn combined off.Congrats on a fine harvest to put some meat in the freezer. What cuts are you making with that deer?

I removed my previous post. After reading it I believe it could have been misinterpreted if someone wasn’t having a good Day. While I 100% intended it as humorous I removed it rather than have it misconstrued. My friends here are too important to chance offending anyone accidentally.

No worries on this end. Funny part I was planning on doing a 7mm-378 when I rebarreled my 30-378. Then there comes a point of serious overbore with no improvement , so I went 28” 30-378.
