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

Reported here on 10/17/2022, Sir Jerry's Safari.
He was the first man on earth to kill a cape buffalo with the 404-gr Shock Hammer,
page 137 of this thread:

And he left some .458 WinMag 404-gr Shock Hammers with his PH.
PH might have single-loaded the 3.480" COL, circa 2500 fps MV ammo, if his .458 WinMag is standard 3.4" boxed.
It worked out, shot into onside shoulder of a ~3300-pound bull giraffe:

"I shot him right on the shoulder and the bullet traveled right through the animal.
On the other side of the skin it got stuck, and that's what I got back" ...





... "I only found one of the petals but it worked really well.
It's like I said, it traveled right through the animal ... both the lungs were gone.
So yeah, they really work. Thank you very much. Just wanted to share that with you."
