"These gun will physically harm you if its not held correctly" I love that quote.
"Why would you ever need a gun that big??" "Ever heard of spiders?"
Lion's n tigers n bears
that gun isnt big enough for a spider
Bigfoot
A boar
@@redacted999 Need a damn rail gun for those demonic bastards
"I shot my first turkey today... everybody in the freezer aisle sure were shocked!" :)
LOL.
PML (pissed myself laughing)
That's funny I don't care who you are....
Shot my first and only turkey with a 30-06. Don't tell the game warden.
Terrorism?
You can get these .458 Win Mag rifles practically brand new with a box of 19 rounds usually.........
Too funny! Yup, I might shoot one for fun if a buddy had one, but I'd never buy one. Simply not enough elephants and cape water buffalo in the Western US to warrant it...
HYDRA DYNAMIC i think he was talking specifically about that older style? That’s great to know though how much did that run? Thanks for the info
@Bloodreign137 - I would ask @Don Olypopper 2nd message from the top
HYDRA DYNAMIC oh no problem thanks for the reply
Don Olypopper do you remember approx when you bought your 458 win and how much it was?
"These guns will physically hurt you if you don't hold them right" LOL! I like the way you talk... Straight & to the point.
When I first started shooting a shotgun. A 20ga. Beat the crap out of me.
Tip 1: be the one holding the gun
Jeff sure learned that lesson the hard way
“Having some fun”
*$5 a bullet*
Aaron LeClair still better than .338 lapua magnum.
Aaron LeClair, SO! The different between men and boys is the price of their toys.
Art Tafil And the size of their cock
Aaron LeClair words to live by
I reload my 458 Lott for $1.00 per round.
I was born in the wrong country
🫠
Where you from?
😂
This is a great rifle for hunting deer hiding behind trees,
Art Tafil i use this on deer. I hand load. Its perfect. I just dont make them nuclear hot
Gsfbffx Pdhhdf :) :), dangerous game, LOL, like rabid rabbits?
Art Tafil depends on the thickness off the tree......
Xeno Morph, when using a .458 magnum, it would be well advised to make sure that you should choose a mature Sequoia! LOL!
Don’t shoot through a tree only shoot if you got a clear shot. inexperienced/desperate hunters take any shot they get and ignore ethical clean kills
"Ever seen a watermelon dissapear.. well you're about to." That made me giggle.
Darcksage the kind of giggle that Ian of forgotten weapon as.
Haha that hood joke was underrated
I could vaporize them with a 22-250
The amount of water displaced on that first bucket shot was scary. That's power.
I used to hunt dinosaurs in the 1970’s and this is what a used.
@Chad Klaren You are really pushing it on elephants, not even legal at least in some areas.
@@phillhuddleston9445 I don't know of any place in Africa where elephant hunting with 45-70 is legal. Let alone a Professional Hunter that would agree on guiding someone on such an endeavor.
45-70 is a fun versatile cartridge. But in North America. Not Africa.
Did you accompany Trumps sons when they killed the Triceratops?
Yes I remember being ate by one in 78.But I am ok now.The color of that dinosaur was spectacular.
😂😂😂
Here because I heard someone makes an M1 Garand in this cartridge
tempviduse lmao just saw it on instagram. That’s why I looked it up
Same
They did make it
I want links so I can get one
I feel pain
I have been hunting wild pumpkins for years this video must have been staged to see three in one place
Hunter Hisch hehe
Those pumpkins are very wiley! Usually the only way to get one is to hide in a field and make sounds like a pumpkin.
Gundaddy04 H you're funny as shit lmao
Funniest comment on I’ve read in 2018
Gundaddy04 H 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm a simple man. I always upvote dinosaur killing caliber videos.
shiuoot this thang can kill the dahnosour behind the dahnosour you shoot
I'd rather be abused by the 1874 sharps in a 50-120.
"I've had a little bit of issue" with the way this magazine feeds ...
- last words
"First round we're gonna...haha..do"
You know it's gonna hurt when he says this
I'm very impressed with your ability to handle that recoil
It’s all the fat...🤣
Iraqveteran8888 Mass... you've cultivated mass. Ha
He suffered as any man would, that is one bad ass bear gun.
Seth Rich High gravity
texasdee slinglead hes a master in recoil managment
That looks like it would be a great squirrel gun.
Dead Eye If you missed the squirrel you might kill the tree... So be careful and happy hunting.
If there's any sqill left then maybe
I seriously once shot a squirrel with my .408 Cheyenne Tactical (at 200 yards) and there wasn't much left to feed my dog.
Glad to know I'm not the only one with a giant saber-toothed squirrel problem...
You’re right, I’ve never heard a squirrel pop before
Your advice on thumb placement when shooting a 458 win mag is spot on.
Wow… I was amazed at how the energy of the recoil ripples through your shoulders in slow-mo. Great advice and instruction on how to hold this rifle to avoid that energy going somewhere it's not supposed to. Thank you for your service.
Finally a you-tube shooter that uses the sling to shoot properly.
Nope, slings are used off a rest.
@@TeensierPython
I fucking hate the word "nope". What a prissy fucking word it is.
Florida Man you sound upset sir. Go to your safe space.
Jim Watson
I have no sympathy at all.
Love from Australia! Hahahahaha
No sling please,
My shoulder hurts just looking at that beast
Had one. Sold it. Lost a filling in my tooth due to recoil
Kills on one end and maims on the other end.
I had shot one of these and a .416 Rem mag......the 416 felt worse because it was faster and more straight back. Still heavy enough though!
@@DigitalHaze65536 Well the .416 Rem does have more power, and that obviously results in producing more recoil.
Alex K. It also felt worse to me than a .458 Lott more straight back and sharper.
You girls should stick to 22
I love how good the bolt sounds when it gets racked. It's so satisfying.
That’s why I love bolts.
Its a Mauser nice rifle
The 458 magnum is further proof that there is no such thing as too much of a good thing.
It's no pipsqueak, but you ought to check out there are much meaner monsters for those willing to get clobbered, namely the likes of .460 Weatherby Magnum, .577 Tyrannosaur, and .700 Nitro Express.
Count me out on that, though!
The .460 Weatherby does not hit you as hard due to the muzzle brake - and it has 3000 lbs. more muzzle energy - and yes - from experience. The .458 Winchester in a Browning Lightweight Safari that I have will leave bruises no mater how you hold it -
Michael Lisi You must be a glutton for punishment!
I haven't yet had the opportunity to shoot anything bigger than a .300 H&H magnum, and my own single high-powered rifle is a Ruger M77 .30-06, but I'd like to see how some of the heavier artillery is to fire.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I have fired a .50 BMG, but that was the M2, so I didn't really have to deal with the recoil because those are tripod-mounted.
It sure was a hell of a lot of fun, though!
One of those things that I sorely miss about being a Navy Gunner's Mate.
I like 375H&H, more fun to shoot imho.
50BMG? as a Desert Eagle caliber?
Soaked up that recoil like a pro. Very nice.
.458 win.mag...not recommended for salad eaters.
kanukster. I don't eat salads but I wouldn't wanna try shooting it with my messed up shoulders. Shooting 1000s of rounds from shotguns and rifles does take it's toll on ya.
Yea he handle it very well.
Joe Morrell yep,they do kick
He definitely knows how to handle that monster! Amazing!
^..^~~
Just waiting for the psychos at magnum research to make a bfr that takes this round...
Scott Winfrey They probably already have blue prints for one
There is one on TH-cam
Kills and cleans the turkey at the same time. Now that’s efficiency. 😂
If used properly, will remove the finger prints!
I killed two pumpkins yesterday and IV8888 inspired me to do it.
1994CPK jihad against the pumpkin infadels
The true anti home invasion rifle. One second theirs a bad person next theirs a new coat of wall paint everywhere.
After passing through the bad guy, and several interior and exterior walls, the bullet drops a person living three blocks away.
R32R38 ...And the person behind that person.
... and disabling the Freightliner behind that....
Yes, when two bad guys enter together they both drop together as well.
Wouldn't mind a PPSH-41 for home defense
Never know when you might get charged by an armored car.
Right???
Right!!!!
Nah, reload, use a .458 to .224 sabot and put an m855a1 in there.
Hello from Australia. I built a .458 WM in the late 1970's. I used a 24" barrelled Mauser Magnum action in the white and a good-quality semi-inletted stock with handsome grain. The inletting took quite a long time without using long gunsmith's inletting studs; fit, smoke, file, refit, repeat. I set the barrel ring of the receiver and the first 4" of the barrel in bedding epoxy with one recoil cross-pin. I deliberately kept the stock as full as appropriate in order to keep the weight at 10 pounds. I fitted a Williams Foolproof receiver sight and a Williams shorty front sight with a medium white bead.
It turned out a very lovely economically-priced rifle and not at all difficult to carry and shoot. The .458 WM is a peach.
Great video. I owned a 458 Win mag , 375 H&H, and a 416 Rigby. Boss hog...big bores....and once shot a 460 Weatherby. But my favorite remains the Winchester model 94, 30-30!!! Thanks for your work.
How bad is the recoil on the rifles? A 3030 is like a heavy 20ga.
Mike Richards
375 H&H! Thank you! Ugh I've been trying to think of that round for years. I worked at a shooting range and a guy came in and wanted me to be a spotter for him. Let me have a couple rounds. Biggest round I had shot at the time. Was going on safari in a couple weeks.
Thank you Eric for serving America, and for making this video. Both are great !
Good goin you have an excellent sence of what to do with big bore weapons
That's why the double barrel rifles were more popular than the bolt actions, you don't want a bad function in a rifle when a tiger is runing towards you
That is why you carry a 6 shot Tiger scraper along with the super bolt action rifle.
Alvaro Labastida amen brother !!
You need a bayonet lol
Alvaro Labastida, you also need to be an expert shot. Really big game, elephant, rhino, Cape buffalo grizzly, do keep coming especially after a number of misplaced shots. Big game guides know this and are prepared to make an expert shot to save themselves and their client.
Just get the double barrel bolt action (look it up I'm not joking)
I like to thank you IraqVeteran8888 for taking the time to blow some shit up.
Dilly! Dilly!
Oh brother Eric I will feel free to live moments like this vicariously thru you. The name on that rifle is PAIN.
You are a FULLY GROWN MAN! OUTSTANDING job shooting this rifle!
I am impressed at how many times you shot that .458 and never flinched.I shot my .375H&H 20 times at the range but there is considerable difference in the two. Once again I am impressed the way you handled the recoil. Good video.
I mean plenty people can handle the kick. A lot people good enough grip strength to handle it. A lot people don't have lot of grip strength either though as well.
Perfect for Graboids.
Marc Pascual " The live ones smell worse than the dead ones"
One of my favorite movies !
Burt would approve
rhpicayune love the whole series
Lol
Eric this is why you will never lose views or subscribers lol
Brandon Mullen Greetings from the Communist Republic of California. 😢
YOU MEAN A GROWN MAN DANCING AROUND IN A "BRA" . WHO DON'T SHOOT HIS GUNS ? AFRAID TO GET A SCRATCH OR BITCHES ABOUT A SCREW ? LOOOOSER LIBERALLLLLLL SNOWFAKE.
MegaBait56 lol calm down dude
"Okay, first round we're gonna Haha 😅Shoot! 😓😥" lol I felt his pain
😊😊😅
“Cause your about to box” laughs nervously
"Because you're..." Dumbass.
No, you're not about to box, you're just about to get hit....in the shoulde...HARD!!!
I finally found the perfect mouse hunting gun
*HOW F*CKING BIG ARE YOUR RATS!!!???*
@@randomknight2585 it was a joke you can't hunt anything but fucking whales with this lol
Them mice must be the size of the fucking empire state, I'll warm the water for mouse stew 😀
if u dont hit. the shockwave will kill it anyway
Sabertooth mice? Be careful & good luck! Better you than me.😁
Holds up pumpkin to camera "remember guys, this is just a pumpkin"
Thanks for explaining that
Newtype 0085 lol
@swampy 420 thanks for explaining that
Newtype 0085.6
These are legal to hunt deer in Ohio with but 30-06 is not lol.
I'm glad he pointed that out.. sheesh I thought it was a cucumber
“These rifles will physically harm you if...” ha! Man. Love it!
You handled that recoil well. Awesome video! :D
Definitely FUN shooting that rifle at Range Day! Gotta love those Lehigh Defense 300gr XP'S!!
Your videos make me feel like I am right there with my fingers in my ears giggling on whats about to happen! "That was fun!"
That first of three orange buckets was INSANE in slow mo lol. Awesome as always.
I had a budget 458 Win Mag built on a MARK X action. Whoever had it built must have intended to carry it alot as it sported a relatively thin 20-inch barrel with a aperture rear sight. A nice thing about rifles in 458 Win Mag is the prices for used ones are pretty decent - probably because of the limited use in the lower 48 and high ammo cost.
that's some serious sit down power
Room temperature challenge!
If you sit down behind that kind of power you will regret that you did. Learn to shoot standing, like Erik.
Got a good buddy with a farm. He's a market gardener. I been pumpkin hunting for years.
You sir are having way to much fun.well done keep the vidz coming.
I've watched your review many, many times and still like it. I don't regret signing up. Good luck, success! Greetings from Russia.
I’d really like to see what these safari cartridges do in gel blocks. We’ve all seen what standard hunting rounds do in gel and I’d like to see the difference. Don’t get me wrong... I like to watch watermelon juice being made just as much as the next guy but I’ve never seen real wound tracks from these cartridges. Some clay test would be just as cool. Maybe 300 win mag vs safari cartridges. Now that’s a video.
Hunter_Jordan is right - the 458 is all about penetration, and not explosiveness. High velocity rounds like a 300 WM will do more damage to gel blocks, but generally won't penetrate as far.
"Youre about to box"
Love your channel guys 👍. Keep the great videos and information coming 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Enjoyed watching. In 1972 i fired this caliber but was a Winchester Model 70 then a Weatherby 460 Magnum. Black & Blue for days being 12 yrs old. What fun. Well Done Presentation🔫👍
I have a Ruger #1 in 458 WinMag. I love it.
That whole statement sounds painfull
wish i did. i guess biggest round i've shot was a 405 winchester. as i recall, it had a brass buttplate. too much for this ol' boy. 'sides, my yard's not big enough!
Kudos to handling twelve rounds of that cartridge. Semper Fi!
In my PH days i used the exact same model Ruger M77 in 458 WM .Was a great stopper and never let me down .
I used to have a Weatherby mark V in win 458 magnum. I added a shotgun pad to the stock. It helped a lot!
5000 ft lbs of energy.🤘🏻
In all honesty, and having never fired a .458, I am surprised by how little you were actually shoved back with the recoil. (We've all seen those clowns shooting the A-Square T-Rex, I'm sure.) And the muzzle flip was surprisingly minimal as well. No doubt that's because you know what you're doing. Thanks for sharing your techniques and knowledge. Well done, indeed.
The recoil, if properly shouldered, is managable. the movement is minimal but HARD.
Love your channel and all the content i watch all your stuff your amazing thanks for the perfection and all the hard work you do god bless you another brother in arms
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Keep the big bore videos coming!
Nicely done!
I absolutely love these videos, great channel
First shooting video I’ve seen where the shooter actually holds the rifle correctly. Right elbow 90* to the torso.
👍👍👍
Hey Eric, for better effect drill a hole in the top of the pumpkins and fill them with water. Does the watermelon explosion thing. And for more effect, a good dose of food colouring (red) makes it better for the camera
or get some fake blood from a halloween store!
@@nickmccarthy8002
red food coloring works well too
Soda is easier. .
Put RDX inside the melon
i miss the old man
I havent seen him in 2 years or something, did he passed away or something? :c
@@A-G-F- He died like 3 or 4 years ago.
The old mans name is Barry and yes he sadly passed away about 4-5 years ago
Short and sweet, no bs. Great vid, Subscribed :)
Damn Eric handled that 458 like a real man!
I’m thinking “They’re perfectly good HD buckets!” I’ve got some paint covered ones that need disappeared..
Eric you need to do more gunsmith videos
And a reloading video for the 8mm Hakim with cast bullets and a 8x56R cast reloading vid (revisited)
Toolness1 The Hakim is just 8mm Mauser though, load it like you would any other 8mm rifle minus surplus loads.
on my budget list . cheers happy holidays my friend 🎉
I went to buy one about 30 years ago, and ran across a Dakota Arms 458 Lott first, so I bought it. Fantastic rifles. Hits like a freight train.
Another nice hint for helping absorb the recoil on these big bores is (as a right handed shooter) making sure you keep that right elbow high - like you do, have the elbow pointing almost to the horizon, instead of at 45 degrees to the ground, or directly at the ground.
GReeNORB is that true? I would think the opposite is true. If you raise your elbow, you’re spreading your shoulder/upper pectoral muscles, giving yourself less natural padding. I can’t say I’ve ever thought about it much as the most powerful rifle cartridge I’ve shouldered is a .300 Win mag.
f5tornadeau hold your left hand where the butt of the rifle would go in your right shoulder. Raise your elbow and feel your pec and shoulder tense more. Compare the feeling when your elbow points at the ground. The tense muscle helps absorb/resist the heavy recoil more than a slack one does. It's the technique I use when shooting a .375 Ruger, which has rather a lot of recoil.
It is true, its the exact technique archers use for back/shoulder tension
like a boxer, cuz your about to box... Nice!
Love the original m77s. Great Mauser action
Now THAT looks like a blast!
"Hold it like a boxer.. cause you're about to box" 😂
Anthony Fulton he’s a women when it comes to recoil lol
He should have said, "... cause you're about to get boxed".
*Put water in the pumpkin, preferably colored, for a more reactive target.*
*Place sealed & filled 5-GA buckets upside down*
*Try bowling balls & fire extinguishers.*
*#1 Bucket & #2 Turkey were cool.*
Great Presentation :-D
Thank You
That third one had a fine red mist behind it. I love it
Very nice. Always fun to watch. Next time stuff a turkey with tannerite!
The only time I ever shot a Winchester 458 Magnum, I made the mistake of shooting it from the prone position. I couldn't effectively use my right arm for 2 or 3 days afterward. The recoil was so bad that it separated the lenses in a 4 power Weaver scope.
😥
Great control of the rifle 👍
This is a great home defense weapon for when you don't feel like leaving a body and filing out paper work
It's a wonder that the "Watermelon Rights Group" hasn't contacted you...! Ha Ha.!
Just fire back with: The seeds are dangerous to human intestinal tracts and therefore euthanizing a dangerous species is not a crime.
Watermelon lives matter
'cause yu're 'bout ta bawx
Love u guys, always good info.
I have that same rifle in .458 Win Mag as well. It also did not feed the big round nose 500 grain bullets especially well. I didn’t want anything to eat me while I was attempting to chamber a round. Bought a Remington model 700 in .458 Mag and used it on brown bear and Cape buffalo. I believe that had I been using the Ruger, I might well have developed some Cape buffalo related health issues one morning several years back.
That gun is very beautiful 😍😍❤️
Not as beautiful as me, honey.
Seems underpowered. Try the. 460 Weatherby!
An old monster magnum cartridge .460 is the charging bull elephant stopper. Strictly African Safari. Still available $50k one elephant $400 a day with guide 9 day all inclusive
I Love your guys videos thanks
Our aunt Lucy's husband, Bob, hunted MN whitetails with THIS rifle. A light load, he claimed. Had bought it to get his Cape Buffalo and decided to get some more use out of it......... Amazing!
