I often wonder why Weatherby stuff isn't more popular. They used to seem pricey but not so much anymore. I had a .460 that I really liked to shoot just for the thrill of it, and the entire time I had it there was not any unwanted elephant activity in my county.
A good testimonial as to it's effectiveness, I think.
I have one, a rechambered 458 ruger No 1H tropical in 460 weatherby , ammo is 120$ a box of 20 so we don;t plink sod poodles too much with it anymore !!
A real hoot too shoot !

I think that a big part of it is that while it seems really cool to have something like that... Many years ago I was going to buy a TC Contender chambered in .375JDJ, at the time, the handgun version of a .460 Weatherby! Well, either that or 45-70 or .444Marlin. Anyway, as I was getting older it occurred to me that spending a bunch of money on a handgun that I'd probably fire fewer than 20 times a year just to see how much punishment I could handle just didn't make any sense, even if it meant that I wouldn't be able to guarantee that an elephant would stay out of my pajamas. So I came to my senses and bought a Ruger Redhawk in .44Mag... With the 180gr JHP or 300gr Sierra and LOTS of WW296, it was plenty of fun to shoot but at the same time it was far more flexible (though having interchangable barrels would have been nice in the TC).
