You simply must have a 458. Owning one reduces the recoil of your other firearms by 30%. Taking it to the range and actually shooting it reduces the recoil of your other firearms by 60%. Enjoy.

They work real well in blowing up gallon jugs of water.
For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths.

They are fun to shoot; used a 350 grain Speer FP and 70 grains of Re7 for plinking with my WRA M70 African. Loaded down it's like shooting a stout load in a 45/70. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/M70_African_-_BHB.JPG)

If you want to be pedestrian then you need the .458 WinMag. If you are in to keeping up with the Jones then get a .458 Lott. If you want to be known for your classic good taste and refinement, you need a .404 Jeffery. Have a Rigby. Want a Jeffery. I've even gone so far as to buy an M70 in .300RUM to convert.
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Well that does it, I just think it would be a lot of fun, going on my list of guns to buy. Besides, I figure if I can't put it down with a .458 Win Mag, I probably shouldn't be hunting it.

Give me one good reason why I need a 458 Win Mag.
So why do I need a 458 Win Mag? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/4980ElephantShot.jpg)

Seriously, it occurred to me today that I most definitely need one but I'm not sure why. Biggest thin i hunt is Wisconsin whitetails already have a 270 a 308 and a 300 Win Mag. Usually just grab the 270 and go. So why do I need a 458 Win Mag? .............You certainly don`t need a 458 Win. But you`d like one. There in lies the difference. Just something new to add to what you already have. Many have cartridges they don`t need but like to own anyway.

If the Sasquatch herd in Wisconsin turns mean You'll be the only prepared guy in the neighborhood. Besides, .458's are just freakin' cool!

CwboyTim, Cause you can run a chamber reamer in it and turn it into a .458 Lott!!!!  memtb

The ONLY reason that you need a 458wm is because you can't handle a 500. Buy it, love it, NEVER look back!
