Wow!

Never knew the 458WM was so anemic, according to one poster! Anyway, it's fairly common knowledge to many others that 2200 fps is quite easy to obtain from 500's with the right powders. Hornady's ammo shows 2260 fps for the 458 Winchester and 2300 fps for the Lott - difference? 40 fps! Even a deer won't know the difference, let alone a buff!

Yeah, I'm familiar with the old stories about 458 ammo bouncing off Cape buffalo, too! But, that's what they be... stories!

Mine - a CZ 550 - will EASILY get 2200+ fps with 500's at less than max psi.

And 2700+ from the 350TSX by Barnes. So, do ya REALLY want something that will reach waaaay out there and touch something, like a zebra, at 400 yards??? Huh? Or a moose??? Mine went moose hunting last fall with that load (350TSX), and in a few weeks will be in Quebec for bear.

Best regards,

Bob
