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

Illuminated reticle and parallax fixed at 150 yards is a mixed blessing.
FireDot Duplex and huge internal adjustment range could be used for Creedmost 1000-yard shooting,
but would require "Tennessee Holdover" using the "uncluttered" reticle on 5X.
Dialing might be advisable with this scope.









RIFLE #211 is ironically where Ross Seyfried wrote "In Defiance of the .458 Winchester."
What ? The .458 WinMag totally inadequate for Ross ?
Or was Ross totally inadequate for it ?
Meanwhile, Brian Pearce was bowling over cape buffalo with 405-gr Cor Bon FP PEN solids
at about 1800 fps MV from his Marlin .45-70 Gov't.

"The recovered bullet on the left completely penetrated both shoulders of an old bull,
traveled 7 yards and then went through both shoulders of a cow.
The bullet on the right penetrated from rump to brisket of the ancient buffalo."

The CEB 400-grainer would be a better penetrator, even in a .458 WinMag, despite Ross Seyfried's opinion.
Opinions, everybody has one.
The 400-gr short-nosed version for lever actions has long been available.
The 400-gr longer-nosed version was a special order from Michael McCourry greasing the skids.
Hopefully CEB will make it a regular offerinng.
