Is the 500 Jeffery really superior to the 458 Lott in stopping power?

Too many are stuck on old original ballistics and 535gr bullets for the 500 Jeff....I do not use them and dont know anyone else who does for backup....we use 570 and 600gr premium bullets.....

The 500 Jeff with the right bullets and in the hands of a competent shooter is devastatingly effect in any situation on any dg....

Yes not all can handle it but the ones who can and who use them for dg follow up wont use anything less.....

As for the ones thinking smaller caliber dg rifles are just as effective are unfortuanately speaking of no practical experience....

Nothing wrong with a 458 Lott for dg backup but it cannot compare to the performance of the 500 Jeff.....

What about the .505 Gibbs
 
460 W . 378 w. never loost an animal . #26 lion #30 Kodiak 2 ele lotsa Buff 378 1 2 shots up too 250 yards -qon 250 yard shot on Safari Classicsafrica hunting shows
. Best Calibers on Earth imho .
 
Shooting buffalo at 250 yards and stopping the biggest dg game at close range aint the same thing.......

DG is not supposed to be hunted at 250 yards, no fun IMO
 
500 Jeffery vs. .458 Lott vs. .505 Gibbs vs. any other big-bore caliber when it comes to stopping power, the Jeffery and Gibbs have proven themselves over decades, if not centuries.

Case capacity and bullet diameter matter, but in my view, what makes the biggest difference is shot placement when stopping a close charge and, equally important, using the rifle you are most comfortable handling, feeding, and shooting accurately.

The best big-bore stopping rifle is ultimately the one you can control, cycle quickly, and place the shot where it matters, especially when things go sideways at very close range.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
