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

the mushroom bullet was recovered from wet paper
the wet paper was at 200 yards

That is worthy of Knighthood in itself, setting up your wetpack at 200 yards
and hitting it with a 550-grain WFNGC.
But of course the .458 WinMag helped, with its inherent accuracy, of course.

yes next summer I will try these new powder, at 74 wee seem to stick to old ways

You fit right in here with the pack of old dogs learning new tricks, like me and Sir Bob.

by the way this bullet feed good in my model 70

Another great recommendation for the .458 WinMag: Ease of feeding FNs, even works with a WFN !

I had a Sako brown bear in 450 Rigby and it did not but almost so in this rifle

Funny thing, those .450 Rigby and .450 Dakota rifles usually get used with loads that a .458 WM+Unlimited can equal,
with lesser powder charges and hence lesser recoil,
and with greater magazine capacity.

I shot the saeco 245 grainer

That would be what I call a rat bullet, appropriate for the .458 Lott.

it looks like the chamber of the 458 love bore riding bullet

Amen.

in the 1980 I had a Winchester Model 70 push feed that cloverleaf the RCBS 400 gr. with 59 gr. of 3031
this rifle had a 22 inch barrel and to me was better balanced than my present 24

I had one of those pushfeed 22-inchers purchased in 1984. Wish I had never let it go.
The 400-grainers of all types are my favorite bullet weight, at all velocities from 1400 fps to 2600 fps
in the mighty .458 WinMag.

thank you for accepting me in your ranks of knights
