one reason I find the 458 caliber rifles , chambered in cartridges like 45/70, 450 marlin, and 458 win ,
loaded with CAST GAS CHECK BULLETS, in the 350 grain to 500 grain weight ranges,
loaded at moderate 1600fps-2200 fps so damn attractive.
you can use bullets you cast, yourself, a wide range of powders and both have a very effective hunting rifle,
you can load ammo for for less than 50-65 cents a cartridge in most cases,
that can be used on damn near anything out to at least 200 yards.
this eliminate your dependence on commercial bullets and allows a far greater selection of powders
trust me when I tell you , from decades of experience,
that a hard cast bullet in the 350-405 grain weight range out of a 45/70 or 458 win,
is devastating on deer & elk if you know the anatomy and can place shots consistently!
want a plinking load, a 350 grain bullet in a 45/70 over 12 grains of blue-dots devastating on tin cans at 50-75 yards
load 45 grains of RL7 under that bullet and no hog or deer is safe!

want to eat elk, load a 400 grain cast bullet in that 45/70, 450 marlin or 458 win , at 1800 fps
youll be well equipped

btw most rifles chambered for bore sizes like 358, 375, .416, .430, and 458 caliber cartridges respond well to properly cast bullet use.
obviously rifle twist rates and bullet designs must match fairly well, to get the best results and velocity's kept under 2000 fps tend to produce decent accuracy
