I'm still in shock that there's such a thing as a .458 RUM!!!!
I mean, how impractical can you get? Unless, you're hunting dinosaurs!
"Deer Patch"horizonstend to inhibit devloping a bigger picture.
Acase in point, IMHO.

DM I dont know what the ammo is going for now but if it hasnt went down you could damn near retire on what you have if ya sold it..lol.
Last time i saw it, it was going for $75.00 per box, perhaps it has went up since then??

I guess when you add that up, it does come to some coin....

Is there a better time than NOW to bring back the cartridge??? It puts the 17 to shame as a hunting round...

Younggun. Thats probably because you are just a lowly unimportant deer patch dude. You must broaden your horizons.

He thinks that he is a real man because he uses "magnum" cartridges. And that everyone else is a recoil sensetive little kid.

Feel free to offer up your take on the "source and cause"of the above stated shock.

I'm just thinking that the recoil on that .458 RUM would be enough to scare anyone, I mean, that's making a magnum out of an elephant gun that recoils almost up to 50 lbs.,right? I can't imagine that a human being could take the force of that kind of recoil, it'd probably blow someone's arm right off!!!!

Makes the 45-70 look like a pea-shooter.

It would be more like 100 lbs as the 460 weatherby has 99 lbs. Tell us where you found the 458 RUM.
