458 win mag box magazines are available from Midway but they don't ship to Canada, any other sources where I can find one?

No such luck on mine! Just 190 lb. me(back in the early '80's) bucked up against it on the bench! Can't imagine the roar produced by yours, exhilarating?

exhilarating might not be a strong enough word for it. First time I tried it out there was a 20rd box of 223 sitting on the bench to the right of the forearm, the blast was enough to push it to the right the 4 or 5 inches to the edge of the table and over she went. I let another gent that came up that day to see what the roar was, fire it and so I was to the side (with muffs on and plugs in of course) and he was surprised that it only recoiled like a 308, but I was surprised that the blast hit me hard enough in the chest (standing 3ft back and 4ft right of him) that it felt like I was punched.

She was a brute and just too much for me for a fun gun, hence my choice to go 450BM.
