Bill/OregonThe long and short of it
Took advantage of a sunny morning and 25-degree temps to sneak out to the club for a few shots with Beauty and the Beast.
I ran mostly Speer 405-grain bullets from the CZ .458 Win Mag, and did notice that they seem to kick a bit harder -- or perhaps faster -- than the Hornady 500 over 70 grains of 3031. They also impact considerably higher on the target.
The little Savage 30G with repro Stevens aperture rear and Lyman globe front was a nice way to taper off, shooting dime-sized 25-yard groups with Wolf Target .22 LR ammo until my fingers finally froze.
Sorry for the goofy exposure -- lots of snow in the background ...

Joe MillerI might do some shooting with my 458 if it ever stops snowing up here.

Joe MillerBTW, very nice rifles. I like the wood on the CZ.

Bill/OregonJoe: More snow due here tonight, but nothing like you've got. I have a brother in Stevens Point. Thanks for the compliments on the wood.

Thomas JonesGood for you bill.
Glad you got to shoot. My range is over in vancouver and its been closed the last 2 weekends.
I got a bunch of stuff to shoot when they open , but I have not had a chance.
