I will never swap my .458 Win Mag for anything. Period. In fact, I've already written my last blog - but it will only appear at the right time, when I'm ready to "pack it in". The title is: "Why my .458 Winchester Magnum will be the last to go".
In the meantime I'll play with some other toys, but NEVER with the intention of "substitution"! As I've written too many times already: "The .458 Winchester Magnum is the most versatile rifle extant". Offensive? So be it! I've handloaded a majority of common cartridges from .22 Hornet to .458 Win Mag... Line 'em all up, and if I could only have one, knowing what I do now know, it would be a .458 Winchester Magnum... being a handloader. I've knowingly picked the .45-70 and .458 Win as my BIG BORES, not something less or more.
