Sir Ron,
Having just read the above, I am reminded of how effective the 450 grain NF and 450 grain Punch bullets were on Cape Buff (shot through them) and on Ele (shot through the head and on into the body) at only 2150 fps!!!

"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."

I am persuaded to stick with our Geriatric loads and keep my .458 2.4 rifle weight below 10 pounds; and COL = 2.88 inch.

Some say "its all in the wrist" !
