[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3006152, member: 10755"] The 458's I have had are: 45-70, 45-120 (black powder converted to smokeless) 450-400 Nitro, 458WM, 458 Lott & 450 Rigby…never had a 450 Ackley, but it is so similar to the 458 Lott, I would imagine similar, albeit a little more, ballistics. The 450 Rigby, prior to it's introduction, was my own wildcat and it had me hooked, until I got my 505 Gibbs. I would say that any load with 480g or 500g pills above 2300fps is gonna wake you up, however, the recoil is not as bad as many think. I really didn't like the factory throat on the 458WM, the Lott is a much nicer design, so I re-chambered my WM to the Lott and had 2 of them. I found 3 powders to work extremely well with heavy bullets in the Lott, 760, RL15 & H4350, just a warning, H4350 jumps felt recoil by a good margin, but produces excellent accuracy. 760 is great and less felt recoil. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
