How do you like the .458?

I like it a lot. I have not killed with it yet. My ar is about a 1.5 or better rifle. My bolt gun shoots smaller groups.

the 458 is a real thumper. but you absolutely need to reload as commercial ammo hasnt been available for a long, long time.

Post #1:
Hafa Adai from Guam. Where America starts it's day.
I had 2 .556 Daniel Defense rifles one is a V1 and the other is a V7LW (v7 is a Mid length) I traded of my V7LW upper (500 round count) for a V7 300 blackout upper straight across. I will miss my mid length. I did not want to give up my .556 rounds because if SHTF you will find .556 rounds.

As for my new Double D V7 Its nice to look at. Its like looking at a stripper from the back table with out any $1's in your pocket, because I have no ammo made for it yet. I just made 1000 cases out of LC brass just have to anneal them now. Just pick up some 150 grain bullets today. Should be loading up by the end of the week. Then it will be like having a pocket full of ones and paying full contact sports with the strippers out here in Guam. :twisted: (you get alot for your $1 here)
Any ways glad to be apart of these boards.

I simply added too my AR collection w BK.
Have a NIB Colt 6920LE
SBR RRA 9mm
SBR BCM hybrid (duty rifle)
LMT MRP piston 16"
LaRue 16"
and the recent addition of a hybrid AAC 12.5 300BK

Ican spread the ammo consumption and wear across multiple calibers and I have more options when reloading supplies are found.
Calphalon cookware
BFGoodrich All Terrains

some rocks, an oak tree
