The reference to the gut shot buffalo is a fact stated by Lott within his own article which has been misconstrued over time. It is too important not to repeat it here. We spend an awful "lott" of time extolling the virtues of shot placement over cartridges used, yet the .458 Winchester had a continual barrage of slander over too many years for lousy factory ammo and poor bullet placement. Neither issue had anything to do with the cartridge design.
Powder and bullet improvements since the 1960's make the old yarns irrelevant to the modern .458 user.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
