Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

Sir Bill Bagwell has long been a crusader for truth about the BPCR and hunting.
His favored hunting load with 45-70 is for a 480-ish-grain FN bullet at about 1300 fps,
and he also used a 45-110 and heavier bullets.
The .458 WM is equivalent to a "45-98 Sharps Belted 2.5-Inch."
I made up that last bit of nomenclature.
It is obvious that any proud .458 WM shooter could use the .458 WM to recreate the ballistics of Bagwell and Selous,
for fun and filling the freezer.
