Rifle hunter, the 416 Ruger African saved me from the redundant, timely, whacky, money-spending madness of wildcatting.
I appreciate the keen efforts to fill voids and determination that wildcatters bring to the table.
I wish you the best of luck finding a suitable 458 wildcat. 3 down is tight in the Ruger African, and a larger diameter case will lead to a 2 down gun. The 458-416 Ruger is only 50 fps behind a 458 Lott.
I went down that wildcat den hole once.
The wild, unchartered nature of a raging wildcat, it begs for wild places and dangerous pursuits.
To unleash one on a wild, white water river with sharp, jagged peaks along the shore line, it STOPPED one of my biggest bull moose, right on the dry bank. In the book The Hunting Rifle, Jack O'Connor claims he's never seen a large bull moose stopped with one shot.
I have.
