Albeit I love my 45-70's and would have no problems taking on dangerosu game with the garrett hammerheads I'll disagree about Americas most lethal gun.......

This little plinker is the king of commercially available dangerous game ammunition. Granted there are "speciality" ammo companies that make 500 Nitro etc but the .460 Wthy mag gets my vote for that title.....of most lethal.

Just my opinion of course......

The elephant goes one way, and the Englishman goes the other.
Whoever gets up first wins.
If neither gets up, their possessions are divided according to the laws of the jungle."

I don't shoot anything dangerous enough to make me put up with the kick from the 460 Wby.

There are feral hogs on my parents' island, and a couple of the boars are big enough to where I carry the .348 when I walk at night. It's enough to ruin even a 200 pound boar hog.

But what about the poor guy who has to shoot it? I did the calculation on recoil engergy on my little bitty .300 and it was 35 foot pounds of energy. A M1 rifle has about 12 foot pounds of recoil energy. I would hate to think what the .460 has.
