Harry,
They buy them because they want them, they are fun, and the hunters always have the hope of being able to hunt Africa.I understand that some people live where they can't own whatever they want and handloading is very difficult.If I had the money, I would have one of every caliber and several of some, including British,metrics, and American calibers.BTW, the 458 became popular during the time it was for practical purposes the "only game in town".The Brits and Continentals were too busy rebuilding their lives,so the Americans dominated the hunting.Things are better now, but since the 458 was well established, it just hung on. I'm glad I live where I do, and wish all my friends could.
Mike
