Zastava sells a 458 Win in blue and walnut or Stainless, synthetic. You can load it to below 45/70 or a ways above. You can also ream it to a Lott and have a very capable African gun that you can still way download with no risk. The straight wall cases are very simple to download.
The rim other reason a 458 Win would be a better option in a bolt action is the rim on the 45/70 would not be the hot ticket in a bolt action gun. Just like the 7x57 and the 7x57R, otherwise identical loads and rounds but the R is made for single, double and combo/drillings while the rimless 7x57 works very well in bolt actions. Best of luck with the project.
