[QUOTE="Extremist458, post: 1520361, member: 10561"] Look, it's not an argument of relevance or practicality; it's power and capability. To that end it is perfectly suited to talk about what has been done. Over many, many penetration tests and tissue destruction tests, and medium speed, heavy 458 has proven champion. That very same load set the record for penetration at Linbaugh (beating 458 Lott and WM by 1.5 to 2 feet). So if I was to choose a rifle for such a purpose, the fast handling and fast follow up capabilities of a good 45-70 are right at the very top of my list. The choice is wise. Even if not the absolute top of the performance charts, it's a wise balance indeed.
