I have recently purchased a very nice .458 WM ( https://www.africahunting.com/threads/custom-rifle-ranch-458-win-mag.90030/ ) , and have been shooting it a bit zeroing iron sights that I installed. I love the rifle, and feel it is built correctly for a big bore. It has a wide comb that rises slightly to the rear, a wide butt, weighted 10 pounds with scope, a bit over 9 without scope.

For my DGR, I shoot a Heym 89 500 Nitro Express. For many years, I used Trail Boss powder w/ 300gr lead bullets for my low recoil practice loads. I would practice loading, firing and reloading between 50 to 100 rounds per session to gain muscle memory for under-pressure, fast reloads in case matters went south quickly on a real hunt....and that repeated practice has paid off on two of my DG hunts.
