It may work just fine for you. I think you ought to try the 300 WSM cartridge out and see what happens. I am running a old Enya 1.20R with a straight pipe or tube on the exhaust. It is crimped on the end and has a bunch of little holes in it. The engine doesn't seem to be bothered by it. Four stroke engines are not all that sensitive to the exhaust setup like two strokes are.
.458 Win Mag is a 375 H&H head size. Smaller than the WSM or 375 Rugar.
I also think he should try the WSM.
