The “458 Winchester Magnum, all the cartridge you’ll ever need” thread

I’ve used the 325 gn ftx as a culling round on soft skin animals, mentioned elsewhere on here, very effective, but messy, not the projectile to use if you want to retain meat, 300 gn Sierra or Speer hollow point projectiles work well for general work, my pick of the lighter projectiles is the woodleigh 405 gn PP , pushed at modest speeds
Gumpy

I have had good success with the jacketed 350 grain RN from Hornady and the 350 grain FN from Speer, in .45-70 and .450 Marlin, but the Hornady feeds slicker, I had to take a file to the Speer's to stop them from catching on feeding. I'm going to work up a load with these.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
