Speaking about the 458 win mag, I have this buddy from Covington Ga that hunts with us here in Ak. He has hunted pretty much everywhere I think. So, he had this 350 lb blk bear 30 yards away and he shoots it with 458, bear runs at him and second shot bear goes down about 15 yards away. My buddy had a few beers in him and thought bear was gonna tear him up; bear was headin back where he lived and my buddy was between here and there, ha ha. But that 458 win mag didn't stop that blk bear first shot either. Wife and I drove up, we even heard the shots, and my buddy was chewin on his words; quite humorous actually.
