The 458 Win Mag was specifically designed for hunting the "Big Five of Africa": lion, leopard, rhino, African buffalo, and elephant with a bolt-action rifle. This offered more follow-up shots (if needed) than the traditional English big bore double rifles. Although it's been around for over 65 years, the 458 Magnum is still considered the gold standard by many dangerous game hunters. Although overpowered for most North American big game, 458 Winchester is used for moose, bison, and as both hunting and defense rounds when going up against very large bears like the Alaskan Kodiak. With the 500gr bullet most often loaded into a 458 Winchester Magnum cartridge, muzzle velocities are around 2,000 fps (feet per second) and muzzle energies of about 5,000 ft-lb. (foot-pounds), and it can be zeroed to 200 yards.
