No, the .458WM came out in 1956, the .460 Weatherby in 1957. Ol' Roy always designed a faster cartridge than the current offering.
Thanks CoElkHinter for correcting me. I was pretty sure there was a correlation there between the 2 just couldn't remember which came first.
Then the 460 Weatherby was Weatherby's attempt to compete against the 458WM and Weatherby's attempt to compete against European gun makers as an Africa DG gun.
