I really like the A frames, do they carry a 400 grain for the .458? Heard something about lever-action bullets from one of these company's. I have envisioned a charging bear within 30 yards and gave some serious thought as how bullet performance would come into play. Quick expanding, tough, heavy bullets.

Like 1 minute mentioned, "Just use a 405 Gov slug". I believe he was speaking of Remington bullets.



Yes, Swift makes a 400 gr .458 flatnose.
