Would love to buy a Custom bottom metal for 458 from the US but with the poor Aus$ I might try another option which is use the original FN 30/06 Magazine.
Can this be made the feed the 458Win properly?

Yes, my .458 WINMAG is on a Zastava that was originally in 7 M/M REM MAG. The walls of the magazine box have been thinned out from top to bottom to match the widening of the rails. I can't tell you how to do it, just that it is a practical alteration on a 98 or clone.
