Both calibers have their merits. The .458 can be loaded with 400gr bullets and give the same ballistics as the .416! I've used my model 70 .458 for 16 years as an african PH and have shot everything from impala and jackals to Buff and Elephant with it without a hitch. Don't sweat about choosing either one...they both have enough 'knockdown' power. But nothing beats a well placed shot so get the one you can handle best and quickest!
Do I detect apoplexy and convulsions within the readership??
Dhugaboy,
Welcome to the fire. I fully concur with your review.
