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

Sir Spruce,
You must have got the house done.
Congrats.
Yep, fast twist may not be much good with cast, like in a SAAMI .458 Lott,
but playing with heavier and longer monometal bullets at both super- and sub-sonic will surely be fun.
Reminds me of my inspiration for a renewed interest in .458 WM+:





The varmint bullet for the 30x113mm "Apache":



So versatile, for busting tanks and bunkers or bunny rabbits,
just pick the right bullet for the job with the 30x113mm.
For the .458 WM+, the 404-grainer will do it all:



Electric primer version of Big Bro':



Percussion primer version, note the BP starter charge ahead of the cap:



Whether 4000 grains at 2600 fps with the 30x113mm "Apache"
or 400 grains at 2600 fps with the .458 WM+,
the family resemblance is unmistakable.
Fraternal twins !
