Re: 458 Win Mag - Actual Performance in DR

Any rifle chambered by the maker for the 458 Winchester should take the SAAMI pressure from now to doom's day with no problems. If it won't, then it wsn't a good rifle to begin with.

I refuse to use the term "magnum" in the same breath with the 458 Winchester since the term implies a larger than standard case for the type and the 458 has a smaller than standard case for the type. It is really a bolt action cartridge in more ways than just being rimless. I launch my 458's from a bolt action rifle. If I HAD to have a double using this sort of cartridge, I'd go for the 458 Lott and have it regulated for something a tad less than the maximum load, down to around the 458 Winchester's level.
