I watched an old guy sight in his 458 from the bench. He was about 5'8" and maybe 160 lb. He turned almost sideways to the rifle. His shoulder was behind his body mass so it just pushed him. I notice big guys often set themselves up to stop the gun thereby absorbing the full benefit of the reco...

I have this one (on top). It is the one you see in Jeff Quinn's Gunblast article. It shoots as you see in the article with 117 gr bullets - I used Win factory ammo. It is quite accurate. Those factory rds shot about as well as his 2460 handloads. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e295/Calfred/PB2508...

The .458 hits a lot harder and will challenge the tolerance of most of the 30-06 crowd. That is with 458 loads not down loads. Put the two in a recoil calculator and you will see a clear difference more powder, more velocity, more bullet weight.

What I am saying is that the triggers have not made much difference in the size of the groups I have shot.
