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

No doubt young Sir Jerry's .458 WM+ combo of
450-gr TSX at +2400 fps
and
500-gr TBSS at +2350 fps
is hard to beat.
All done at less than 3.6" COL.

For the geriatric set, it is clear that a 400-grain soft and solid combo, at whatever velocity is comfortable for the old bones,
will do it all, whether in SAAMI .458 WM or .458 WM+.
Just don't forget to apply the brakes on the wheelchair if shooting from a sit with +2500 fps 400-grainers.

Lest we forget, coming sooner or later from Hammer Bullets, after their tweaking: .458 Cal-400g Shock Hammer



Barnes Buster for the 400-gr solid until something else is available without the little pinhole in the meplat.



The .458 Cal-402g Shock Hammer (above) might make a good solid.
Seated with powder filling the hollow point, if it would feed with such a huge meplat, base forward.
Big FN and hollow base, CG forward, adding dart stability to shoulder stability.
That might Bagwell.
