Should do well.

I am still riding herd on a Flathead Hammer solid,
new application of a previous photo to illustrate my wants:

That bullet is 1.330" long and has 6 PDR locations.
Chop off the base flat and short, fill in the nose hole,
shorten and form the nose to proper FN meplat ...
Voila !
400- to 405-gr Flathead Hammer.
Either 6 or 7 PDR at 0.100" wavelength.
That'll do.

Sir Jerry has no chance of ballistic failure on safari with his .458 WM+.

Sir Tony says that if Kit Carson could've he would've had a .458 Winchester Magnum.



Thanks Sir Ron, indeed, no failure with the Great 458 WM+, my little 12 twist FN 257 Weatherby is the only concern right now, 100gr TSX bullets for plains game up to Blue Wildebeest will be some heavy lifting for the little Mauser, i could alleviate all that by bringing my old pre-64 300 H&H with Lyman receiver peep guiding 220gr npt's, a great companion for the 458 WM+ cool.

Trump Won!
