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

My pleasure, Sir Jerry.
I wonder if one could find a bullet and MV in the .22 Hornet to mimic the trajectory of the 404-gr Shock Hammer at about 2518 fps ?
Training wheels load for practice on the field course.
Might not tear up the rest of the Tiny Ten on the ticket.
Think of taxidermy charges for repairing the hides.
Sort of like playing putt-putt golf to keep your putt accurate.
Heh-heh-heh.

Speaking of your great photography over the years, here is a killer still life,
includes your Bagwell Bowie:



Also the .458 WM+ loads in your Winchester M70 Classic, rebore by JES:



That 500-gr/.458 Trophy Bonded Sledgehammer is only 1.400" long,
about 0.015" shorter than the CEB 450-gr/.458 Safari Solid.



That Lab Radar data came from the 24"-barreled Ruger No. 1, a SAAMI .458 WinMag rifle, at 80*F, GM215M primer.

It is still a tough choice between the CEB 450-grainer at 2300 to 2400 fps (3.360" COL)
versus the TBSS 500-grainer at 2300 to 2400 fps (3.550" COL)
from a .458 WM+ handload
in a 24"-barreled rifle chambered with the SAAMI .458 Winchester Magnum reamer.

I used to laugh when a Lottite claimed to be getting 2400 fps with a 500-gr bullet in his SAAMI .458 Lott with 24" barrel.
The SAAMI .458 WinMag with .458 WM+ handload can certainly do that at lower pressure than a SAAMI .458 Lott.
