Where should me .458 balance.
I'm working on my .458 win mag.
Where do people like to be the balance point on the bigger guns?
Thanks.

You will find it swings better and holds better offhand if its muzzel heavy. Exactly where it balances is a matter of taste.-Rob

I also have this gut feel that a muzzle heavy aspect tames recoil somewhat.
