Looking for feedback from South African PH on experience with this round, 375 H&H length case (2.99 inches) with 500 grain bullets. The longer case supposedly has less pressure ( maybe 55K psi ) and less recoil than 458 WM or 458 Lott with SA available powders. Have seen comments where many PH have converted their 458 Lott to this 458 Express 3 inch. Maybe it is true. Any feedback or comments appreciated.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
