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

Oh yes, I also used a 404 Jeffery on one of those "buffalo," a bison.
It was a 380-gr North Fork Premium Soft Point at about 2530 fps.
One-shot. Recovered bullet under offside hide on a broadside heart-lung shot.
Like using a 375 H&H soft point on steroids.

The 404g/.458 Shock Hammer at 2530 fps ought to work even better, except the bullet will pass through the offside hide
on a similar shot. Will bleed out faster. Might be a bang flop DRT instead of a 50-yard stagger.

The water buffalo shot with a 460 Weatherby old 500-gr RNSN factory load (similar broadside, heart&lung)
disintegrated the bullet and required a finisher in the neck with a .375 H&H,
handed to me by my faithful gunbearer, Lemuel.

I shoulda had a .458 WinMag with a 404g Shock Hammer.
