Although I have never shot a cape buffalo with my 458, I have shot an elk with it. I used a Hornady DGX softpoint and that bullet broke up and changed directions inside the elk. I cannot recommend that bullet for anything bigger that duiker.
Wow! That's kind of crazy! If a 500 gr bullet intended for dangerous game breaks up on an elk... Who would use it for truly dangerous game?
Dang... Thanks for the info. Not that I own a .458, but I do have a pair of nice .375's. Dang...
