A 500 grain slug moving at 2700 fps out of the 460 does does a whole lot of damage... certaily more than the 2150 of the 458.

And though I use my one 458 that I built for many things I am the first to say that I consider it minimal at best for dangerous game even though it is equally or more powerful than many other rounds used for dg.

I went to the 460 and noticed that the disruption of flesh was massive compared to the 458 and that was due to the speed.

I got hold of a A-Square 577 T-Rex and with it's 750 grain slug moving at high speed it definately hit animals extremely hard and stopped them in their tracks.

I built myself an exciting 600 Overkill in the early 2000's and with 1000 gr custom bullets itis atrue giant slayer. But it never made it to africa. I did take it to Russia and shot an enormous brown bear about 10 feet away from my guide who was squating against a tree taking a dump at the time. The shot to the chest actually knocked the bear backwards and made him deader than Julius Ceasar. The bear had blood on his paws and muzzle when he took the smack down. He had killed and was eating 2 cubs right before he was sizing up my russian friend.
