[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1317325, member: 10291"] IMO, 2400FPS is likely too fast for a .458 load used for deer. Most of the lighter .458 soft points would come apart and/or cause massive damage. Recoil would be brutal. I down loaded a 458 Winchester. many years ago to 45-70 levels using 350gr Hornady round nose SP's or 400gr Speer at 1600-1800. Performing like a hot 45-70, this combo is very effective on deer from close range to 200 yards. [/QUOTE]
