If I remember correctly back in the late 1980S,the then new .416 Remington Magnum trumped the .458 Winchester Magnum,and sent it off to the side of the Magnum road,then the gun writers buried the .458 Winchester by trashing it with negative press.
Very...interesting...
It so happens that if a .458 Winchester is loaded with 400 grain bullets, like a .416 Remington, and if both are sighted in at 150 yards, the .458 will stay within 3" of the .416 trajectory out to 300 yards.
It also so happens that the .458 can be loaded with 500 grain bullets for the big stuff and the .416 can't!
So who trumps whom?
The firearme companies should have invented the .416 first. That way the .458 could have been their "improvement."
