And with the twist rate it shoots them all very well.
It is not a very popular caliber, it never will be but it does offer some options, especially if you like ML hunting the really big and dangerous animals, or even hunting regular animals.
but, grainted your 58 will make a bigger hole

and that use to be a pre-requisite for shooting a PRB's. Ah darn, the good ole days where have they gone?
I probably would not be shooting Black Gold, but it still would be fun... fun for a few shots anyway - then the shoulder might not agree.
If I was hunting brown bear in Alaska. I'd have a gun with more than one shot in it.
