IMO the real problem with the 458 Win. is with any load that will churn up 2100 FPS you are at 110% load density and that means you have compacted the load, and that is what gave the 458 its bad reputation, and deservably so..powder should never be compacted in a dangerous game rifle, particularly if it is to be used in a hot climate..
For those that refuse to accept this, so be it, but I will not use the caliber because of that, I want all the odds in my favor when Tembo is near..Give me a 458 Lott loaded at a mild 2200 FPS and thats a $50 fix...
