Winchester introduces their new Safari Ammunition line, featuring four calibers (.375 H&H Magnum, .416 Rigby, .458 Winchester Magnum and .416 Remington Magnum) of proven big game ammo paired with Nosler Partition and Nosler Solid bullets

That's good news. Name brand factory ammo makes it easier for folks to get into the big bores, and using decent bullets means they're likely to garner a good reputation.

no lott?

No .395???

How is the Nosler solid constructed?

465H&H

Looking at the prices for a box of ten for the .458 Win Mag at MidwayUSA I am not sure this is the load for me.

Still, more big bore factory ammo is a good thing. But at $112.99/ten rounds with the partition and $144.99/ten rounds with the solid, I would still be inclined to do something else.

I guess we will nkow more when someone can actually shoot them. Midway shows 1/31 for expected availability.

Or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Edit: I guess they are competitive with the Norma PH line.

Now if FN will chamber their rifles in the same.

That is more ridiculous than A-Square ammo pricing!

This ammo must be made using the new Nosler SGS (Solid Gold Solid) bullet.

I had hoped it would be a reasonably-priced offering...

Maybe when it becomes available it will be priced lower, or at least be packed twenty to a box? Has anyone seen pricing elsewhere?

Must be another magic powder, or a Midway Misprint. The 458 WM at 2240 fps. A baby Lott.

I thought that was pretty impressive on paper. Maybe the price is similarly optimistic?
