He did look at the full length 458 Ackerly Magnum but wanted to do away with the belt and decided the 404 case offered the best combinations of desirable characteristics.

Wasn't the primary advantage of the .460 G&A the ability to clean up the chamber of a .458 built on a non-magnum action?

Sorry, I was thinking of the .450 G&A.
