Fondly remember the first time I shot a .458 Win, a bit over 30 years ago. Fellow I knew had returned from Africa, and though he'd planned to sell his 458 Model 70... He just loved the rifle too much by then. Too many good memories.
So, he downloaded it with the 400 gr Speer bullet and the 350 gr Hornady Round Nose. Happily hunted black bear and whitetail. He loved that doggone rifle.
I enjoyed it too - and those first few shots with 500 gr factory ammo woke me up a bit.
So no, I haven't hunted with a 458 Win, but have good memories of a fellow who did.
