Looking For A 458 Bore Guide

[Nevada Wapati]

I'm trying to find a bore guide for my Winchester 458 WM and can't find any larger than a 416. Do any of you good people know where I can purchase one. Thanks for any and all help.

The Tipton universal bore guide that ii available from Midway will handle rods up to. .425 dia. Unless your rod is larger than that it should work.

Thanks Joker but it's too small for the jag and patch

Bust out the Google and search for Possum Hollow Products. They can get you one pretty quickly.

PMA tools make custom bore guides and they are the best in the business

Hello, I ended up going with Possum Hollow for the bore guide. They will not be able to install an o-ring but will have a deep enough throat that it shouldn't be a problem. PMA was very responsive and honest. Please see their response to me below.

Thank you for your interest in PMA Tool.
The 458 Win Mag is pretty much a straight-walled case, therefore an o-ring snout isn't able to seal in the chamber while still leaving enough room inside the rod guide for a jag with patch or a brush to pass through. We can make you a custom rod guide for that rifle, but it will have a tapered snout in place of an o-ring. In reality this is no better than using a less expensive rod guide from Boretech or Pro-Shot.
I'm happy to make one for you, I just always want to make sure we educate our customers, especially when a custom item, may not do the best job.

PMA are definitely good people.
