With his Ruger No,1 chambered in .458 Express, Dave Campbell from Chickaloon St. in Eagle River, Alaska wrote:

" ...of all the different large bore rifles I own, I have never felt the trust and satisfaction that I do with my .458 Express. I've got a rifle and cartridge combination that I would walk straight up to the gates of hell with, shout at the devil and I know that I would come back home..."

This unique cartridge is born in Africa for use in Africa and all over the world. It has a broad spectrum of reloading options and can be hand loaded to do, long range flat trajectory shooting or close up Big Five hunting with the heaviest of bullets available in this caliber. It is truly an unique and very versatile caliber, used by many Professional Hunters.

"In combination with the wide range of superbly constructed bullets available, it might be flexible enough to become the mythical all rounder of Africa", (BST 2010).
