Any case that propels .458 caliber bullets is fine with me.

What, even the terribly designed, poorly thought out and woefully underpowered Win Mag case???? ;-)


You'll probably never NEED a gun. In fact I hope you never do. BUT IF you do, you will probably need it worse than anything you've ever needed before in your life...

Just substitute 450NE on the above quote and good to go! smile

I'll be contrary and say a .475 Turnbull, just 'coz:

But I did run across a .450 Nitro #1 the other day, which is pretty interesting. Certainly a wider variety of bullets than the .475.

The ones on the left will kill anything you point it at. The one on the right is great for bunkers and APC's though.

Mel
The .458.is officially in +P mode these days with better bullets and powders available. Besides, how can anyone not like a .458 without automatically slandering the .45/70, albiet, perhaps unintentionally?

I'm down to my 500 jefferey which is still a project rifle, one of these days...

If I was to get serious about dangerous game hunting I'd go with a 416 remington. As much as I enjoyed my two 458 lotts, there is just a recoil threshold with 500 gr bullets at 2100+ fps where you simply can't ignore the recoil and it takes significant concentration before squeezing off shots. For a hunting rifle I want something I can get into any field position and ignore recoil, and that is what the 416 offers that the 458 and larger rifles don't.

500 Jeffery, more than enough power, just right amount of recoil ..

Currently, a Shiloh 1874 Saddle Rifle - 45/70 with 26" barrel.
Over the years, I've had a total of 4 Marlin 1859SS's, 1 T/C Contender, A Browning 1885, and a C. Sharps 1875..................all in .45/70.
Granted, the .45-70 isn't the best choice for a big bore rifle for dangerous game, but it does get the job done if used in its range.

Nothing like a 50 Sharps. Perfect for rabbits, nothing but head shots...

The Whitworth 416 rem is relatively light and fast handling, accurate and will flat out get the job done with proper shot placement. After all, shot placement is key with all cartridges

A buddy loaned me his push feed Model 70 for a morning. It will shoot clean through a digger squirrel.
