Try shooting one,while prone. One owned by a fellow with a very short
neck.

My 375 H&H Magnum is a bit rough when prone...the 458 Ackley is a
stone bitch.

For clarity, my .458 is not an Ackley, but a .458 Winchester, made by
Ackley.

Unlike your 375 H&H, which I imagine has one hell of a sharp kick, the .458
starts shoving------hard, and just keeps doing it, or so it seems. It's
very punishing to shoot-----and should have had a muzzle brake installed
when it was made to make it more "user friendly".
