Re: Cartridge Choice for a big game bolt action rifle?

My comments were not directed at anything you said, Ripp...

But just generally to some remarks made that the 458 Win Mag was inadequate for DG!

I was aiming to show that any difference between it and the Lott will never be noticed by an ele or buff, and it will shoot flat enough to take a moose at 400 yds. So, it's a lot more versatile than some might believe, or admit.

What... a 375 H&H will shoot a 300gr at 2650 fps? A 458 will fire a 350gr at 2600+ fps! That's not exactly lobbing soft balls!

And it will do either with eye-popping accuracy! At least as accurate as any 375. That's the only point I'm making. Just trying to correct a false gospel that's being preached!
