The gunsmith started work on a .458 express Im building.This will be a long six months!:cool:
 
Sounds like you just might be excited about that rifle?

Gunsmith started and YOU are building??? Please explain.
 
Brickburn,the gunsmith is doing the work and Im putting it together in my imagination!
 
Some guys actually calls it the .458 three inch.To be precise it is actually 2.99 and takes about 8 grains more powder than the lott.
 
A buddy of mine contemplated putting one together.
(it never got done)

Inexpensive 3" cylinder brass was available in large lots, making reloading cheap and avoiding time consuming and meanial case trimming work.

8 more grains capacity over the 458 Lott cartridge gives you a formidable round.


Good luck with the build.

Until this guy posts something on pay it forward free I would avoid him at all costs.

If it hasn't sold by next week I might be interested. Stock would have to be changed along with some other items. I'm already having a 416 Rigby built so money is a tad bit tight.

Hey pal! I'll take all the .375 bullets if they're available.
Thanks!
