As much as I'd like to have some of those 400gr Hammers or TSX's (I've little resistance to the purchase of new bullets in .458-cal), and I've gone on record in stating that I think the best all-around hunting bullet in .458" would be something like the original 400gr X-Bullet, I'd never be content with a single bullet in .458-cal.
Due to owning several .45-70s, including a few single-shooters like #1 Rugers and NEFs, and now the .458, I've managed to collect something like 600 still on my shelves, including: 250gr Monolithics, 500gr FMJ, 480gr DGX's, and 500gr DGX's from Hornady (including several boxes of 350gr have been fired or sold); 350gr, 400gr and 500gr Speers; 450gr Swift AF's; 300gr TSX, 350gr TSX, 450gr TSX, 300gr Barnes O, 400gr Barnes SP, 330gr Barnes Banded Solids, 400gr Barnes Busters, 400gr Barnes-X, and 600gr Barnes O; 405gr Rems; 405gr WW; 400gr Hawks; and 550gr Woodleighs.
I figure if I shot 150 of those per year over the next four years, I'd be 90 and wouldn't have to sell them!
Now that's what I call a positive plan. We should all be that lucky to plan our shots until 90 year of age.......... All the very best to you and, your plan, Bob. John
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
