    The sophomore slump

    During my freshman year I loaded up 60-80 lbs and confidently headed up the mountain only to retreat in blisters and back-pain. Freshman year. Well things have changed friends. You see, I drew a 1st rifle tag and loaded up 60-80 lbs to head up the same trail, but this time I let a horse have my...

    458x2" American

    Only pigs, and snared critters. I keep mine in my truck, it is quiet and quick (except for my feed issue). I definitely wouldn't target dangerous game with mine until the feed issue was resolved. But in truth, I never considered that use case when I bought it. Maybe I should, (at least for NA...

    16” max length barrel. What caliber are you going with?

    For your case, I'd suggest a twist on can. My 6.5cm has a barrel of 16", but including the suppressor, OAL is 22" barrel. My 458 has a 12" barrel and 8" of suppressor for a 20" OAL barrel. These were my requirements because the 458 is my truck gun (hogs) and the 6.5 I use for deer and predators...

    Not here. But I load like I would a 45-70 and have been pleased.

    16” max length barrel. What caliber are you going with?

    They are. I am still working through feed issues with the 458x2. And I wish I had a chrono for the 6.5. If I were doing it over, and I may still, I would rechamber the 6.5 cm into a 6.5 prc. I kinda think the extra powder would make up for the shorter barrel.

    16” max length barrel. What caliber are you going with?

    I recently built a 6.5cm with a 16" barrel (22" overall with 6" suppressor) and a 458x2 with a 12" barrel (20" overall with 8" suppressor). I have had them less than a year so the jury is still out. Have a couple deer on the 6.5 but only holes in paper and pigs otherwise. I built these to...

    Some hunt and some walk around the woods looking for a good place to 5h!t.

    Well I made it home in one piece. First mountain elk hunt complete. It wasn't a mistake; it was a lesson. I redacted my 1st thread to protect the identities of the elk of CO. Once again I will change the names and locations to protect both the living and dead. I got to [White] Basin the Friday...

    458x2" American

    Also... CH4D has 458x2 dies. During the height of the shortage, they were sitting in stock. I have a feeling they made too many in the past and they never moved. One of the few times having a wildcat paid off, all of their other dies were backordered for months

    458x2" American

    Thanks. I like your pistol too. Ours are probably similar in barrel length once I discount the suppressor part of the barrel. I have found that belted mag brass can have different case thickness around the 2" cutoff making some too thick to chamber after taking a bullet. What's been your...

    Anybody from this thread still around? I had a suppressed 458x2 built and would like some reload data.
