If you can shoot it, one rifle for it all. As Gunner noted it’s just fine as a 300 yard rifle when properly loaded and it’s easy to properly load it.
Pop over to the sticky 458wm thread in the Express rifle section. Lots of data there.

You can use 300 or 350gr heads (like I did)this makes an excellant heavy plains game rifle in bushveld for Kudu and Eland. Its not really going to be a long range rifle.But think of it as a 100yds gun. I used my Win70 ,458Lott last year on plains game and it worked well. Also had it in Croatia last year on driven Boar, this bowled grunters over. It would be good on Warthog sat over a waterhole. I suppose neck shooting Impala would be fine as well. Done this using my .375Wby, using 300gr heads, so I carn't see 50gr would make much differance.
Cheers,
Paul.

What are these "heads" you speak of? In Brit speak, heads = projectiles.
