I found this on another website,
http://www.arizonashooting.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=141446
I am sure it is worth a lot more than the $500 he is asking
Does brass exist for this?

WTS Enfield chambered for the potent .458HE. The 458 HE is a 3 1/2 inch belted magnum. As far as I know it is the largest of the 45 cal cases out there. I load a 470 grain solid to just over 2530FPS. I could go faster but I like to keep the chamber pressures down to extend brass life.
The Good: The rifle is a beast. It is heavy with a 27inch barrel and weighed stock. Because it is nice and heavy recoil is tolerable. I can shoot it all day. The rifle was built by the creator of the cartritge Ed Hubel who is one of todays pioneers in modern big bores.
The Bad: The gun is Ugly built for utility not for looks. I am sure Someone could spend a lot of money and have a custom stock made for it, or just paint the wood. Because of the length of the cartritge it is no longer magazine fed. It is just one hell of a single shot.
Gun comes with reloading dies and 40 pieces of brass. (that is enough brass to last a lifetime provided you do not try and set speed records)
$500 Takes the beast. Located is the farrrr east valley

Ed here-- It, the 458HE, is worth that, as it is only one in
the world now..The 40 pieces brass will go forever loaded down
to moderate levels.Moderate is 450 gr at 26-2700, or 500gr 24-2500.
It will do a 450gr at 2900. I hunted deer with 400gr
spitzers at 3200. I have 10 cases here yet.
I had two others,a Ruger, and Enfield, but used those actions for
my 585HE. As I wildcatted more I had to go bigger.ED
