Another .458 AR being born

The guys at Douglas fired my .458 AR action from their test stand yesterday! Being built on a Parker-Hale action.

So, now we have to make the recoil lugs, put the front barrel band on the barrel, finish the bottom metal, and do the sights, bed the action, and blue it ... but at least the action works and the reamers have been sent back to Jeffe. So we're making progress.

What kind of ballistics are you guys getting from the .458 AR?
