Oscar, we have a hunter here in New Zealand who hunts in Africa quite often and writes about his adventures in our national Guns and Hunting magazine. He has just returned from Zimbabwe after hunting and shooting two elephant on his own with just some native trackers. He has a Brno 458 Win which he used for some years before converting it to a 458 Lott and using it on buffalo. This last trip on elephant he had rechambered the Brno to 458 Express, using the full 3” length belted case.

He comments that even the Lott is a little short on capacity needing some powder compression and not using the full magazine length. The 458 Express can be loaded easily to Lott specifications without powder compression and neatly fits the magazine length.

This successful hunter thinks the 458 Express is the ideal cartridge for the big Brno and just the medicine for buffalo and elephant.
