The .358 Winchester (200 gr bullet @ 2500 fps) is a deadly ticket. Moderate recoil, accurate, thru-and-thru wound channels for easy tracking. Hard to beat for a woods cartridge.

Semper Fi,

Read the other day that the 458 Lott is available from Ruger in the 77 and Numbah 1 . 458 Win Mag can be fired in the .458 Lott if ya can't find the Lott version.

Gonna look into the Ruger 77 version in that flavor as a companion to my Numbah 1 in .460 Weatherby Mag.

Stay Safe !

Finally something great to read this week.........THANKS !!

Randy Garrett makes the best 45-70 ammo for the number 1 or the 1895 Marlin lever gun. Hammerhead rounds keep the hunter higher on the food chain with regard to dangerous game IMO.

Stay Safe !

And just in case your .460 proves inadequate...

This thread needed a 50BMG anyway, just because.
