458 WINCHESTER MAG

The 458 Winchester Magnum is a Big Five rifle cartridge: designed to drop Africa’s largest game more effectively than the traditional 470 Nitro Express. The 458 Win Mag’s deep-penetrating 300 to 500 grain bullets and the relatively lightweight rifles chambered for it have made it one of the more successful .458 hunting cartridges. Suitable for great bears, although its effective range for large, dangerous game is rather limited at ~110 yards.
