I sure as Hell ain't anywhere NEAR the class of 458Win and Safariman. Please allow me my observations. I use a 45-110 Sharps Rifle to hunt with. It flattened a bull moose with 1 shot.Last week a few of the Campfire brethren hunted buffalo in Wyoming. ONE used a 375 Ruger,the other 2 of us used 45-110's,one original (mine) and one Shiloh Sharps. I saw all 3 bison get hit. The 45 caliber rifles were absolutely devastating. The 375 Ruger killed but the immediate effect was not significant. The BP loaded 545 grain bullet from my gun hit the buffler and drove it to its knees. Jorge's shot blew his buffler right out of its sneakers. I think I'd go with a 458 Win. As far as I am concerned,45 caliber rifles are pure killing machines.
