I'm trying to find a bore guide for my Winchester 458 WM and can't find any larger than a 416. Do any of you good people know where I can purchase one. Thanks for any and all help.
 
The Tipton universal bore guide that ii available from Midway will handle rods up to. .425 dia. Unless your rod is larger than that it should work.
 
Thanks Joker but it's too small for the jag and patch
 
I'll second Possum Hollow I have bore guides from them that range from 22Hornet to 505 Gibbs
 
Thanks guys. I have messaged both Possum Hollow and PMA.
 
NW any luck with Possum Hollow? I have also sent a mess to them. who is PMA? never mind found them but they say they do not do straight wall cartridges
 
Hello, I ended up going with Possum Hollow for the bore guide. They will not be able to install an o-ring but will have a deep enough throat that it shouldn't be a problem. PMA was very responsive and honest. Please see their response to me below.

Thank you for your interest in PMA Tool.
The 458 Win Mag is pretty much a straight-walled case, therefore an o-ring snout isn't able to seal in the chamber while still leaving enough room inside the rod guide for a jag with patch or a brush to pass through. We can make you a custom rod guide for that rifle, but it will have a tapered snout in place of an o-ring. In reality this is no better than using a less expensive rod guide from Boretech or Pro-Shot.
I'm happy to make one for you, I just always want to make sure we educate our customers, especially when a custom item, may not do the best job.

PMA are definitely good people.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
