Here's my #2 ...a #3 (.45-70 Liberty Model) with #1 wood.



Back in that safe is also a standard #3 in .45-70, a #1B in .270 Winchester and a #1H in .458 Winchester Magnum

Here's the .270

My 1-H in.458 Winchester Magnum (Now I'm ready when elephants make a come back in Kentucky)



On this .458 I trimmed the safety button to stop the issue of large rimmed cases hanging on the button when ejected.



The newest addition to the clan; a 1-S in .38-55 Winchester.

I do hand load for just about every caliber I shoot. The .458 is comfortable with 500 grain slugs when you drop back the velocity (factory loads are just brutal ). The .38-55 has not been shot (yet) but I've got a recipe using 255 cast bullets I worked up in a 94 Winchester that I will try first. The “No. 2” .45-70 (earlier in this thread) is a surprising tack driver with jacketed and cast bullets. Another writeup on this gun.

Try this for your .458 with 300 grain bullets. I'm loading 210 grain pistol bullets in my .450-400 NE 3".
