[QUOTE="MW204, post: 3099293, member: 118876"] I made a 458WM for an African hunt that I never went on, the rifle sat in the gun vault for 20 years until a couple of years ago, I made a 300WM out of it. I do have a bad shoulder that can't take the punishment so I put on a thick pad and built my own brake for it, which controlled the recoil so I could shoot it with a full 458WM load and 500gr solid. After the African hunt fell through I downloaded to a modern 45-70 load 350gr and deer hunted with it in heavy trees, but I never got to shoot a deer with it. If you want a challenge by all means have a smith put a thin pad or metal plate on the stock and take that brake off, I'm sure your shoulder will love it then. :-) [/QUOTE]
