    I'll be watching this space. My search for a .458 caliber rifle took a different direction and I ended up buying a Winchester mod 70 in .416 rem mag.

    Yup. The new Porto M70 Winchesters are really great. Design, styling and finish are all superb.

    That is still a good bit faster than original loads for the revered .404 Jeffery.
    I received a sms yesterday, informing me that my .416 rem mag's license has been approved. Picking up dies and cases tomorrow, then the wait for the little white card. I've been waiting for my .30-'06's card for 3 weeks now.

    That was a quick approval! Hope your card is also quickly there.
    Yes, by the way the lion dropped dead on the spot, I am convinced it is more then fast enough. The recoil is still manageable.
    I bought 458Express brass from Peter Wells, formed and trimmed that with little effort into 416Rem cases- at R12/case and blank headstamp I could not pass on it.
    I am certain I now have the only PMP 416Rem cases in South Africa.
