bsa1917hunter, The correct thing to do is get both the shopmule Mauser and the Sunday-go-to-meeting Whitworth .458 WinMags. A man can never have too many .458 WinMags. I agree wholeheartedly with all the good advice you received from the other Square Table Knights above. Soon you may have a seat too.
About some fun shooting with the .458 WinMag, one can duplicate or exceed anything from Trapdoor to .458 Lott, subsonic 600-grainers to +2500 fps 404-grainer with high BC, etc.
Here are some videos showing the .458 SOCOM ringing steel at 350 yards and penetrating more than 12 one-gallon jugs of water, all with a 600-grain FN cast bullet at 1050 fps:
Full Lead Taco posted those at the NOE site. He also likes the pointy 500-grainer for saving on lead.
