Hi, I am very intrigued by these cartridges. Several cartridges of the 458 Winchester Magnum were in my hands and they do not really look so great in my hand. It seems untrue that one can feel safe with a rifle of this cartridge in front of an animal like the elephant. Even the mythical H & H Magnum with its large brass is more intimidating. What experiences do you have with the "small" 458 Winchester Magnum?
Remington.
there was a post very recently on this very topic you may want to search for on this site..look at the 458 LOTT thread --one thread away from this one when under the same heading of Big Bore Rifles..
General consensus was with today's powder and bullets available, the .458 is a very formidable round, always has been for the most part.. and even more so today..
