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

So the 460 Weatherby Magnum throat is not an accuracy impediment,
just not as handy with .461"-diameter cast bullets as the .458 Winchester Magnum,
but there are certainly no flies on it for .458"-diameter monometal copper:






Practical rifle aspects:
30-yard point-blank range advantage of the 460 Weatherby (2900 fps) over the .458 Winchester Magnum Plus (2600 fps): .458 WM+
40-yard point-blank range advantage of the 460 Weatherby (2900 fps) over the .458 Winchester Magnum (2500 fps): .458 WM SAAMI
with 400-gr GSC HV having BC = 0.372.
Zero for 2900 fps is 250 yards.
Zero for 2600 fps is 225 yards.
Zero for 2500 fps is 215 yards.
Muzzle-KE/ 300-yard KE:
7469 ft-lbs/ 4274 ft-lbs
6004 ft-lbs/ 3344 ft-lbs
5551 ft-lbs/ 3060 ft-lbs
respectively.
All are quite adequate for deer to 300 yards.

Less recoil, lighter rifle, greater magazine capacity with .458 Winchester Magnum: Better deer rifle.

But hey !
How about a .458 Winchester Magnum Weatherby Throated (460 Winchester Magnum) as a specialized rifle for monometal copper ?
