It's amazing how emotional some folks get when you have a different opinnion, I have no problem with anyone using any caliber, just making conversation and passing on what I believe, based on observation of many buffalo being shot and having shot quit a number of my own.
Having loaded the .458 to some degree, I have not found a powder that does not fill the case to compaction after a 500 gr. bullet has been seated, the Swift manual supports that finding, and all I said was the caliber benifited from being punched out to a .458 Lott, that only makes since to me. Apparantly some disagree, probably because folks that own a certain caliber seem to become very touchy when another says something negative against it, I never felt that way about a gun, only a live animal or person. Sorry if I offended anyone.
