Chrispie, the 458 WM is a fine round. Do not believe the naysayers, for with good loads, it is a great DG caliber. Some, like Ray, prefer the 416 Rigby, but Harry Selby himself sold his 416 Rigby which was immortalized in Ruark's book and replaced it with a 458 WM feeling it was a more appropriate rifle for his use as a PH. I kinda think he knew what he was doing.
