The 458wm now posts 14 of 37 total "entries", for 38% of all "entries". All others account for 23 with the 458Lott/450Ackley accounting for 5, same with the 416Rem. The 470NE has four, the 450NE two and so does the 500NE, all others one each.

Another interesting note is that double rifles account for ten of the 37 entries, or 27%.

Using the Taylor era definition of a big bore, .458" and better, 30 of the 37 entries, or 81%, are big bores while six are "large medium bores", as Taylor called them, and one is a medium bore.

22 of the 37 entries, or just shy of 60%, use .458" bullets.
