I'm going to build a 458 African,which is a short 458 magnum. I have ordered the reamer and gauges from Manson and Redding has the dies.

Similar 458's include the 450 Vincent short,458 AR,450 G&A short,ect.

How is the recoil versus the 458 win mag and lott and does anybody load a 550gr bullet.

Also what powders work well in these rounds, Thanks.

p.s. I'm building this on a classic 458 safari express which should be a easy conversion.

458 African specs.
