Ross never said that the 458 Win was not effective he just said that he did not like it because it had to operate at high pressure and for an African stopping rifle the high pressure was not prefferable.The 458 win has been known for squibs in Africa because the small case requires a heavyly compressed charge. As for his writing ability BRAD I find his style quite enjoyable and extremely knowledgable I also like his choice of adjetives
