Which caliber over .458

I would like a .470 NE but it would likely need to weigh more than I want to tote.

I've already decided a 10.75 lb 450/400 3" is about my limit in recoil.

My Merkel with scope weights 11lbs. Recoil is not that bad.

I think the 450-400 was Jim Corbett's heavy rifle. Can't argue with that.
