Re: What's wrong with a .458

In reply to:
I just think the 458 Win has gotten better as bullet technology and powder technology have improved...you do not have to settle for a 500 @ 1920fps anymore..
Tightloop, yes, you're right.
JPK's Thys sidelock .458 Win double is a good one to back that up.
With Aussie powders and Hornady and Woodleigh 500 grain bullets I've been shooting loads that achieve around 2100 fps since the early 1990's.
With correct loading, excessive pressure is not an issue with the .458 Win mag.
