[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 210455, member: 2736"] The cast bullets are good but if you want to shoot jacketed bullets here are some I recomend. Barns "Original" in 300 and 400gr Semi Spitzer and The Speer 400gr flat nose or the 350gr hotcore ( It has a very small flat nose). The 350gr hot core would be my choice for Elk and Buffalo and they can be loaded to around 2100 ft/sec (In modern rifles)and 2300 in the Browning and Ruger and over 3000ft/lbs energy at the muzzel, 2000ft/lbs at 300 yards and 1500 ft/lbs at 500 yards . Plenty for Elk size game. The other .458 bullets ar made for the higher velocity rounds like the 458 Winchester and the 460 Weatherby. Some bullets will say 45/70 .458 dia on the box and these are for 45/70 only.(The jackets are two thin for the modern cartriges like the 458 Win and will shed the jackets when leaving the barrel) at high velocity. I Hope This Helps J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
