Tag for the EXACT question, and the info that follows... I'm wondering the same thing, Gohip, and if I happen to find out I'll let you know. I'm going to probably blast some hogs with this bullet in my .458 Lott before I get a chance to hunt deer with them (there's a rifle/shotgun boundary in the state of MN). Hoping to line up a hog hunt in the south this year, and bloody my Lott on some piggies!!!

I used my 416 Rigby to good effect (and my 10mm pistol) at the 24hrcf hog hunt in Tennesee March before last. You might consider going on that one, and meeting a few campfire charachters.
I would love to bust a deer with that bullet, pushed as fast as I could make it go just to try for the famous "Bangflop/DRT" type kill with it.
It is easiest to get that with mega velocity in combo with good penetration, but I would think that getting a 350gr .458 to hit one while still travelling at over 2500fps or so would also accomplish a similar feat. I don't know for sure on that, never tried it. I may load up some 300's for my 416 Rigby sometime. Should be able to get up to around 2900 fps or so.
Please do report back here if you get a chance to bust a buck with the 458 Lott. Sounds like my kind of fun!
