The gunsmith started work on a .458 express Im building.This will be a long six months!
Is the .458 express a full 3" case ?

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.

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
