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

Buy a donkey for the flowers, Sir Larry and Sir Dennis.

The 450-gr/.458-cal TSX is too nice a bullet to bubba-metamorphose.
But shortening the nose of one of those by the same amount as was done to the 500-gr TSX
would sure make a nice 430-gr semi-soft or semi-solid.

If Hammer was listening to me, they would have called it a "403" based on my sample.
But, "404" does have a nice ring to it, close enough for "nominal" call of the bullet.
Or maybe the new QC on the copper bar stock has tweaked it into a true 404-grainer, +/- 0.4 grains.

Anyway, kudos to Hammer Bullets on re-naming the 3mm HP .458 bullet to "404-g."
Numerologically the "404" nominal has cachet in the DGR field.
It is going to be outstanding in its field.

I have Larry Potterfield's Vol. 2 of "Short Stories" on the way
and that 380-gr Lehigh copper WFN also to be studied firsthand.
Sure looks like a great bullet for the .45-70 Gov't. rifles with .458" or .459" grooved barrel.
There are some of those rifles needing feeding too, same as .458 WinMags.
